Oh my word yes.

My college roommate is a doctor now.

We had a discussion about how he has to charge (round numbers here) $75 to collect $50 from the system.  So he has to charge EVERYONE $75 or it would be Medicare fraud.  And he really only wanted to charge $50.00.  

So I, being the problem solver that I am, suggested he just charge everyone $50 and settle for the 37.50 he'd get from Medicare.

His answer was "Do you know how much I owe in school bills?!  I need $50 from everyone." 

Nonetheless he WOULD charge less if he could...according to him.
