All doctors will give you "time of service" discounts.

Yes you can negotiate large medical bills down, as long as you can do as well as what they'd sell your bill to a debt collector for. (pennies on the dollar)

You guys in on Stealth Covid yet? Sounds way cooler than omicron.

Is this action well-received by providers?

Yes because you are getting paid straight away and don't have deal with stuff like electronic remittance advice. The industry standard is about a third off the actual price. That 'discount' obviously varies widely depending on what is being billed and geographic location. Typically, smaller bills and procedures mean smaller discounts, larger bills and procedures are larger discounts.
