Negotiating Hospital Bills

[bigbirdist]

hospitals are a bunch of fucking rop offx

[EMOTIONALLOGICABLE]

Psych hospitals can charge up to $10,000 per week, but the insurance companies will sometimes crack down on this ridiculous billing and only permit $800 to $1000. But responsibility of carrying insurance is still on the patient, whether or not the hospital does anything for you. Most of the time it doesn't.

[WonderingAimlessly]

No errors or mistakes, its fraud. How can any educated person continue to be politically correct in this manner knowing fully well the statistics around this issue clearly indicate that it is common practice of hospitals to throw in all charges they feel were "rendered" into the bill, even when they aren't accurate. Its profitable to rely on the customer to find the error. Insurance companies don't have this problem. Why? Because they have people dedicated to finding the errors.
