re: What in the hell is wrong with medical billing?

I had a $30,000 hospital bill when I didn't have insurance. They changed it to $9000 which I put on a credit card.
They were able to cash discount that much. Medical billing is a scam.
Also I was once charged $400 by a doctor who only came in and shook my hand. He wasn't even my doctor.
He tried to charge me for a consult but I fought that charge.
Got to be diligent with billing.
Now I have good insurance ($3500 maximum out of pocket) I plan on going to the hospital next week for a few days. Much easier knowing it won't cost more than $3500.

Most have a coinsurance pay AFTER deductible is met as well. Make sure you don't.
