My investment program consists of a safe and a bank bag.
About 15% goes into the bank bag! 😃
Another 15% goes into a bank bag marked "Med".
HINT: needed a med test. The test cost was a bit over $5k.
I asked the receptionist, "What if I pay cash?"
She looked at her computer screen, tickled a few keys and stared at the screen again.
"Then it will be $1500."
I paid cash, got an itemized statement, remitted it to my insurance company.
Got my $1500 back plus a happy insurance company for saving both of us money.
Can't tell you HOW many times I've called med business offices and asked, "What if I pay cash, up front?" and ended up with a significant discount.
Cool. Shows what a scam our current insurance-based medical care system is.
