>> They have a column called "Uninsured cash price." These prices are <25% of the insurance "discount" prices
> And this can really cause issues for people who are insured because if an insurance company decides not to cover something (very very common, even in-network) then the inflated price is what you end up getting billed for.
That doesn't sound like an "inflated" price? 25% of what insurance companies are billed for?
I'm confused. I'm not sure y'all are talking about the same things?
- wswope 5y agoHe’s saying if you go in as an insured patient and get denied for a procedure by the insurance company after it’s been performed, you’ll get a bill from the hospital for the insurance-negotiated rate, not the uninsured cash pay rate. You can generally talk the billing department down to the cash pay rate, but that requires having a lot of meta-knowledge of how American healthcare works.
