Plan Benefits High charge at urgent care
I was charged $900 for a 15 minute visit to urgent care. Insurance doesn't cover any of it because I have a high deductible plan. I called the medical practice saying the charge was ridiculous. They checked the billing codes and found no error.
They said the insurance company sets the price and I can file a grievance with insurance. That seems like a wild goose chase.
Why is it so expensive? Is there anything I can do to reduce the cost?

It’s an urgent care office visit. It’s going to be expensive.
Also your insurance does cover as they adjust to the allowed amount
