- byuu 10y agoI don't actually know how much my plan is per month. It's not clearly listed anywhere I can find. It's the top plan my company offers, though. Here's the actual ER bill as proof of what they charged me: https://twitter.com/byuu_san/status/776137889348358144 https://twitter.com/byuu_san/status/776137889348358144
- justin66 10y ago> I don't actually know how much my plan is per month. It's not clearly listed anywhere I can find. The amount you pay every pay period, to your insurance plan and to your health savings account (if applicable), really ought to be on your pay stub. If you're paid electronically your company probably makes that available to you somehow via pdf.
- TylerE 10y agoYeah, but they do an $8,000 CAT scan when you're in the ER. Not $50 any more.
- byuu 10y agoYep, exactly. They don't tell you how much it costs, and how little your insurance is going to cover. And they also don't tell you that they could've detected kidney stones without a year's supply of radiation into your abdomen, and without all the expense, by using an ultrasound instead. You learn that after researching the matter after you feel better and get your bill in the mail. You go there in the worst pain of your life (kidney stones are truly terrifying), and you think they're there to help you. Not use you to pay for their fancy, unnecessary, dangerous toys.
- Redoubts 10y agoWell, I'm talking about the out of pocket expense when you're covered. My ER visit wasn't $50 either, technically; the ambulance bill alone was 50x the copay, in the itemized bill they mailed me. But I was personally responsible for very little of it.
