There are some weird things going on with insurance companies. My husband has had three ultrasound assisted aspirations of his knee. Each time the insurance company never paid about $1100 (though supposedly it was knocked down to $800) for the ultrasound fee, yet the hospital never billed us. When I talked to the insurance company, apparently there was an agreement that for this procedure, the hospital would write it off every time. I have no idea why! But if we had one of those consumer driven plans, where we pay the costs out of a pot of money, I’ll bet you the hospital would have billed US for that!
