"Post script to the above-  Check around, you will find practices that are cash only and charge 20% to 25% of the fee schedule that an office that accepts medicare/medicaid. Often, the cash only fee will be less than the required copay of coverage accepted in offices that use insurance."



There is an exception to that law, the exception being government funded clinics in underserved populations. They can legally arrange a sliding scale of charges, but most don't bother unless the patient seeks the arangement. It's so much easier for the clinic's bureaucracy to charge the government or associations that run the clinic than arrange sliding scale payments.
