The docs can charge anything they want, but there are standardized medicare payments for each billing code with some minor deviations for local areas. By law, the patient is responsible for that 20% copay which may be assumed by the secondary. The doctor may elect to forgive the copay but must do so on an individual basis for each patient with documentation on inability to pay.
