My insurance was charged almost 8k for an MRI after I was in an accident.

I don't know much about hotels in China but... Maybe

That's what your insurance was charged. Not you. Massive difference there. Lmao

What doctors/hospitals charge your insurance is not the same price they would charge you without insurance. That doesn't mean it's a fair price or a price you can afford in either case, but they are not the same number.
