Wife broke her ankle 7 weeks ago and we returned to the doctor yesterday. They cut the old cast of and put he in a walkin boot. They told me they will bill BC 375 but we won't have to pay that amount. Go to check out and the boot was repriced to 275. Later, I go on line direct to the manufactorer's retail website and can buy the same boot for 75. Why would BC agree to pay these outrageous prices. Pretty good deal for the doc office 266% markup. The rate he charged was just for the boot, other charges for office visit.
