After having dealt with billing from hospitals for services they never delivered or obscenely overpriced I am inclined not to trust them on statements about their actual cost. In my view the billing practices of most hospitals are very dishonest and intentionally confusing and opaque.
- ssambros 8y ago"billing practices of most hospitals are very dishonest and intentionally confusing and opaque." Is that even true? Personally I have my doubts.
- maxxxxx 8y agoCheck out some hospital bills for major procedures and there is a good chance that you will find things like charges for services nobody remembers or a doctor who was in the room for 3 minutes charged $1200 or receiving an aspirin costs $80. Maybe my experiences are all anecdotal but when I put my own experiences together with what I hear from others and things I read I am pretty convinced that something is going very wrong.
