$3700 is a lot of dough for "administrative purposes..." I think my total out of pocket, with copays and all was about $45. In essence, the surgery cost less than the expensive protein I bought afterward! Insurance covered everything else.
I would ask point blank why that $3700 isn't being billed to the insurance company, and then I would find another doctor. It sounds like this one is funding a condo in the Keys...JMHO...
