This is really interesting, but given the price discrepancy I almost find it hard to believe? lol

A colonoscopy in NYC could cost me as low as $440 or up to $11k - cash price. Same providers with insurance are 1500 or 9000.

For some folks it's almost worth it to say you have no insurance and get the cash price at the same provider. I understood it was the other way around (negotiated rates). What a world we live in.
