no, that makes perfect sense
and while it's shocking from an ethical perspective, it makes perfect sense from a deliberately unethical (aka "business") perspective. OF COURSE the whole reason they're excited about this shit is to *not hire any coders*
ICD coding is hard and people get paid for it

Not to defend the ASC in the OP because I don't know them and they could be sketchy as fuck, but I do want to provide context to why providers charge ridiculous rates regardless of what the insurance company will pay or what is a reasonable amount to charge a patient.
People talk a lot of (completely justified) shit about the insurance companies but the kind of shit that healthcare providers increasingly try to get away with will make your eyes bleed

When I was studying for my certification my textbooks claimed that this capitation system was put in place to curb skyrocketing medical costs, but it is quite the opposite. The system all but demands physicians raise their rates to absurd numbers.
Of course, single payor healthcare would fix this.

I am in no way defending this system. This system is total bullshit. BUT I think this information gives much needed context as to why facilities and doctors charge so goddamn much. Because the capitation system incentivizes it, and there are incentives AGAINST billing reasonable amounts.

Don't have insurance. Most clinics will bill patients at a discounted rate, but tbh a lot of people managing these offices don't understand why rates are as high as they are and will just bill the patient these unreasonable amounts. It fuckin sucks!

Pull an enormous number out of your ass that you know no insurance company would ever pay. This makes sure you'll always receive payment in full and won't ever under bill an insurance company.
Of course, things get downright malicious when those charges go on to get billed to a patient if they

If that provider takes multiple insurances? They need to bill over the allowed amount of the highest payor. Sometime insurance plans will pay hundreds to thousands of dollars more than some companies depending on the procedure. So what's the safest thing to do?
