We have a high-deductible health plan and live in Reno. When my gf recently had the need for a CAT scan, the first choice was here in Reno, and it was priced at over $800. She cancelled her appointment, called over in Carson City (20 minutes south of Reno), and got one done, by someone in our network, for $400. The doctor's office who referred her said, "$800? Really!?"
The Reno specialist made her a follow-up appointment in June. The Carson City specialist saw her in 4 days.
Etc, etc.
We're our own LLC, and we got our own group health plan, as a function of being self-employed and having experienced the employment-related gaps in health insurance coverage.
None of this is interesting, but it's stupid and risky. This system has to be changed.
