We’ve done the same thing. We weren’t looking for a ‘discount’, but we were offered it! Yes, there must be padding in bills to offset those who have no intention of ever paying them. The medical institutions and companies must be happy to get money from folks who are willing to pay.

Was in ER a year ago - no big deal - my first time ever in a hospital.
Got a statement/bill a few weeks later and noticed NY State added a 9% surcharge to the bill.
Called my state senator (who I know personally) and he explained that the surcharge was to pay for deadbeats, illegals, etc.
I called him so many names he hung up on me.
