Generally speaking, uninsured medical costs and medication are cheaper than what the insurance company pays. SOURCE

Hospitals and Insurance companies do this because it's a write-off for the insurance company and it makes the patients feel better about their coverage plan.

You likely could get the treatment without the authorizations if you pressed, I sincerely doubt the hospital would try to stop you, but that would put you into debt so obviously don't do that.
