    Is that a legitimate business strategy?

    I just send my customer a bill for a ridiculous amount, then my customer negotiates for something significantly less, and I can write off the difference?

    There must be more to this. It’s too good to be true.

      It is for the people who are getting paid, which is the insurance companies.

      If it wasn’t, it wouldnt be the awful dystopian norm for the past 40 years here this stupid country.
