WOW I can't believe what I just looked at. Thank God we have 2 insurances. WTF as some of you know my wife was in the hospital for a week. We just got the hospital bill that doesn't even count all the special Docs that showed up. Over 28,000 is the coast. They can do better with the food for that price tag.

LOL I love the "special fees" they list in the bill.

Special fee - 5109
Special fee - 48
Special fee - 4178
Special fee - 2031


What the fuck is a special fee.


I better hit my 2 teamer tonight.

They may just be tacking those charges on for the hell of it, figuring that you don't know any better and will just pay up. Get in touch with them and demand to know exactly what they're for if they want payment and if they don't give you a satisfactory answer then mention litigation.

TRS,
How much did you get stuck with, if any?

What pisses me off is that the insurance companies only get billed a fraction of those without insurance.

Hospitals jack up the bill because they know insurance only covers a certain percentage. Usually if insurance covers most of it the hospitals won't care.

Guys im in insurance and trust me the healthinsurance covers pennies of those dollars.

They just put those big numbers out there for negotiations on the next contract with the insurance company so they can say how much they are getting screwed

You can thank socialized medicine for the insanely high prices. Hopefully her recovery goes well.
