Consiglio del giorno che ti può essere utile:
Example: You get an expensive bill for a $1,000 unfortunately. U.S. healthcare really shouldn’t be so expensive in the first place…but the first thing you should do is call and ask for a review of the level of care, and while on the phone the next thing you do is ask for an itemized bill with every single charge.
They make bills unnecessarily expensive because in the backend of things, they rack up ridiculous charges like $37 for a bandaid. Once you call and request what I’ve mentioned, they’ll knock all the BS charges right off before sending you the itemized statement.
Some bills can go down from $500 to $45. It may not be that drastic for everyone, but many can be reduced by several hundreds of dollars.
If you or anyone you know has been to the ER recently, tell them to try this. It can majorly help!
You can try to even further this by looking for medical debt reconciliation companies. They make money by cutting down on your debt, even in cases like these.
If you have insurance, you can contact your insurance company and ask for a breakdown of what was billed as well. Most services you were billed for likely weren’t even done. So yes ALWAYS ask for an itemized bill, they get scared and remove a whole bunch of items!
