hey guys psa regarding hospital bills
donāt just pay it. do not automatically pay the hospital bill when you receive it. call your health insurance provider and POLITELY say, āexcuse me, i just received a bill for $1200 for my hospital visit/ER visit/etc., is that the correct amount iām supposed to pay?ā because hospitals bill you before your health insurance and they willĀ take your money no matter how the amount due may change based on your health insurance looking at it. 90% of the time, if your health insurance is in any way involved in the payment of that bill, you do not have to pay as much as the hospital is billing you for. call your health insurance provider first, and POLITELY request clarification, always remember that the person you are talking to is human and this is just their job, and then you will very likely find out you actually only owe $500.
donāt shout at anyone about it, donāt get mad, just understand that this is The Way Things Are right now and call your health insurance provider before paying the bill your hospital just sent you. thereās a chance the hospital bill might be correct, true, but call your health insurance provider.
doctors offices are always like BE ON TIME IF YOU'RE MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES LATE WE'LL EXILE YOU TO MARS meanwhile you get there on time and wait a minimum of 20 minutes
