Some doctors may have been charging an additional amount to the patient.

And government would set the prices that doctors charge patients who use insurance to pay for these basic benefits.

Thus, if the Government approved $1,000 for a procedure, a doctor could not charge a patient more than $1,250.

"The Government's going to have to put price controls on what doctors charge," she said.

The hospital bill alone was $1,900, and doctors charged $1,675 more.

It was not clear how the Government could control what doctors charge their private patients.

The book lists exactly what doctors can charge for every approved treatment.

The doctors, in turn, will not charge patients for the vaccine.

A doctor would have charged at least twice as much.

The bill also sets limits on what doctors may charge patients for these services.
