Similar to what Medicare paid for me.
Medicare has set payment amounts for each procedure.
My secondary insurance paid even less.
Luck for me my doctor and hospital had agreed to take Medicare assignment amounts.
They are way underpaid in my opinion.

Same situation when I had my laproscopic radical prostatectomy.
Implanted with colorplast Titan 3 years ago. Davinci radical prostatectomy 6 months ago. Very happy with the outcome of both procedures.

They get a chunk of the others fees, for sure.
