Try reading his post again and you will see that he is talking about how much his insurance company paid the doctor.
Two weeks ago I had blood work done and the doctor sent it to a lab I hadn't used before, so the lab sent me a bill for $1200.00. I called the lab gave them my insurance and a week later I got my BCBS statement and all they paid the lab was $177.00
Same thing with my shoulder surgery the surgeon goes in there and does 5 different procedures each costing between 5 and 8 thousand and the insurance only pays 6 or 7 hundred for each.
