I once had an outpatient procedure and was sent a bill for $300,000 (Not making this up). I always wondered what price the hospital and my insurance settled on.
I’d tease my old dentist, who I’ve known since high school, every time he recommended some needed work. “Greens Fees go up?” “Planning your vacation already?” “Daughter’s med school tuition coming due?” In all fairness though, there were several times we split the costs, or it was “No Charge”, since he was already poking around in my mouth.

Ziggy; find another doctor. Your insurance won’t even pay that one.

The doctor forgot to add the actual cost of the surgery. ;)

I’ve been keeping my doctor’s Mercedes payments current this past year.

Second comic I’ve seen today that brought to mind one of Dave Berg’s Lighter Side strips for Mad magazine. It went something like this:
Doctor: Don’t worry about the cost of the operation. You can pay me $500 down and then $250 a month.
Patient: That sounds like buying a boat.
Doctor: I am!
