Just got about $900 in bills for a monogram




Seriously, that is ridiculous for a mammogram, it should be covered under wellness & even if extra not that much
I don’t have dental insurance & its around 160.00 for cleaning with x rays

The best part about high deductible plan is you find out how much the insurance is overcharged vs cash price.

I’ve had providers when they find out it’s high deductible and they’ll have to just bill me, offer me a cash discount price beyond what the services would cost if ran and routed through insurance.

It’s easier for some of the small providers to just ask for 20-25% for an office visit. Sure, it’s not counting towards my deductible but I don’t go that often and a visit that would normally be $125 to me through insurance, I find I’m routinely paying $25-$30 cash at time of service. Its not an exaggeration.

Yeah just got the bills over weekend. Need to now spend another couple hours on the phone.

It’s about $500 for mammogram and $400 for dental. Of course the dental I spent another hour on phone before asking what’s covered.

In feb they charged me $300 for a penicillin shot. Eventually had them run without insurance and was $30. It’s a joke man, honestly wish I was on Medicaid.

I’m in sales so I’m about 1/3 off what I would probably be making without the global economic collapse, so not great.

BC also put my account in “grace period” as of 9/3 so couldn’t get a med bc my payment from 9/1 had not cleared yet. Just absurd how this works without employer coverage
