Specifically, the chargemaster rates for uncovered "off the street" procedures are essentially unmoored from the negotiated and mandated prices for the same procedures from payers. Quite a few "doc in the box" urgent care clinics will be happy to bill you $1,200 for your out-of-network hangnail procedure.
