I went out of network for a specialist. I think my T usually charged $150/hour. My insurance reimburses her something stupid like $65, and I pay $25 co-ins. I was only paying $20, but my insurance company recently lowered their reimbursement rate, so I offered to pay more.
My T has a really good negotiated rate from my insurance company. He gets $150/hour ($125 from ins and $25 from me), which is almost twice as much as my pdoc gets for the same length visit. I have no idea how he managed that - my insurance company is usually really stingy with providers.
