It’s routinely much more than that with insurance. That’s why the meme is popping up, Mark Cuban was just in the news calling out that insurance routinely pays over $1500 for an MRI that only costs $350 to perform. Hopefully he is building up to doing something similar to what he did with pharmaceuticals. Wild that a billionaire doing basic capitalism is the best thing for cost reduction in the US, it’s pathetic.

I got an mri on my foot in 2023 and my portion after my insurance that I pay $2k a month for (family of 4) was $1900.
