Random $16 bill.
Random $245 bill
Collections threat mail.
Do they even know what they’re doing?

Sure. Socialized medicine. Why don’t you move to Canada and let us know how that goes for you?

It is by design, eventually you'll throw up your hands and say frick it, socialized medicine can't be worse than this bullshite.
You'd be wrong, but you'd feel that way.
Democrats and Republicans are both equally responsible for the limbo our healthcare system is in.

I feel like the average Walmart cashier is in charge of medical billing

I have gotten bills from doctors I have never seen from hospital stays. Tell them to pound sand. I asked for what services they provide, one company said "Chart review". Did I ask for a chart review? Should I pay you $250 to review my chart when I didn't request it? Wait, you don't even have any documentation stating what you recommendation was after reviewing my chart?
The solution, not allow them to pursue collections or credit reporting without an upfront signed contract agreeing to that specific service for that specific price.

Yes.
Publish rates openly and transparently
Get government out of health care entirely

Just don’t pay your medical bills. It has worked out for me

Sounds like Tulane Med where each doctor sends their own bills instead of just one damn bill from the hospital.

The best and brightest of society aren't typically working in medical billing departments.

That's all hospitals. The doctors, radiologists, anethesiologist, all contractors. They all send their own bills.

Y’all know as of July 1st you have a whole lot more latitude to deal with medical bills without it being detrimental to your credit, right?

I'm with you 100%. I have a good rant about this but don't feel like typing it out.
The current system is a joke.

Insurance doesn't want this. The more confusing they make it the more money they make from both doctors' offices and patients

Obama purposefully blew this up. That idiot knew full well people would get mad. What took 1 person to do before that idiot took office, now takes 5.

That only applies if paid in full. Outstanding unpaid balances still on there, and even settlements still on there.

I work in the industry. You’re closer than you think. Look up medical billing training and the marketing material. It’s targeted at people who look like they work at Walmarks.

Rates are publicly published.
I will acknowledge that facility fees can be a fn hammer.
Anything a physician does though, is published in cms physician fee schedule. Or just ask your doctor how much shite will cost before you get procedure

I had a stroke over three years ago. Just last week I received a bill for over $400 itemized as “residual charges”. Since I haven’t satisfied my deductible for this year, I’m gonna have to pay the whole thing.

This is coming, but be aware that the government is involved, so they are really missing the mark and not making it easy.
Surprise billing mandates are being implemented, rate sheets are being required, but not in a user friendly consumable format.
When advanced EOB takes affect, it will provide the solution everyone is looking for, but it has been delayed due to provider pushback. I estimate it will take place mid to late 2023

That’s only one piece to the change.

*You'll have more time before unpaid medical debt is reported on your credit report: Unpaid medical debt that is currently in collections for one year will be reported on credit reports. This is an increase from six months that was enacted in 2017.
*Starting in the first half of 2023, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion will no longer include medical debt in collections under $500 on credit reports.
