My wife had some lab work done, and according to the statement I got from the insurance company, the difference between their "settlement" with the hospital and what they'll cover is $0.59. $0.29 in postage to send the bill (that's what was imprinted on the last bill they sent me), plus the time & materials to print & process the bill, plus the time to process my payment and whatever their bank charges per-deposit...they'll clear maybe 15 cents out of it all.
