Saved themselves $10000.
In the US anyways.
That entirely depends on how far into the process they were. If you leave AMA or ‘Against Medical Advice’ insurance will often not cover any service that has been provided to that point.
The service that has been provided so far
Oh fuck! That looks like it hurts. Well go sit back down. What do you want me to do? I'm sure the doctor will see you in the next 2-28 hours.
Yeah lol, here's a $7k expensed bill, that your insurance covers an unpredictably random amount of, due to hyperbyzantine complexity of billing codes and what not, for ultimately a sterilized suture and some ibuprofen/tylenol, that anyone with basic field medic training could have done in 15 minutes, charged maybe I dunno, $50 - $100 bucks for labor and supplies.
ProTip: Go to a hospital without your wallet or phone, don't give them your name.
This is the entire fatal conceit/flaw of the US medical system, which private insurance just actually can't address, I guess maybe unless we also implement a digital panopticon society with biometric ID resolving cameras literally everywhere.
They'll still charge $99000 for the room
