This. Always get an itemized receipt. Hospitals will try to charge you $50 for a band aidHospitals and PCP offices will overbill knowing that insurance will not pay for everything. Always ask for an itemized receipt. If they're shady, watch that total amount number magically go down.
If your parents are older/immigrants, be especially vigilant.
This.The system is designed to really only be possible if you are employed and get healthcare through your employer.
Thank you!Congrats on the baby smh@ that "discount".
They do this the other way too. If they know insurance will pay for it they’ll charge as much as they can for any and everything. **** is a jokeThis.
One (un)intended effect of our system is that way too many people work in positions that make them (and everyone around them) miserable because they can't find the same level of health coverage somewhere they can move to.
True freedom in the US will be attained the moment health benefits are decoupled from work.
I heard you could just pay .25 on a bill for the rest of your life - and they can’t come after you.
I heard that that’s pretty much true because if they put you in collections they can’t put it on your credit report because it would be a HIPAA violation.
Yep, just go to the er for everything. They can’t turn you away.
og Broke boi info in here.
It’d still go to collections at some point. You’d be better off in the long run just not ever paying it. Take the hit on your credit and let it fall off after 7 years.
Pro tip: with collections never pay anything if you don’t intend to pay it off. Every time you pay ANYTHING it resets the clock on how long it’ll take to fall off your credit report. That’s why collections folks always try to get you to pay something, even if it isn’t close to what your payment is.
I had Anthem Blue Cross and it was alright. Had their coverage when kid #1 was born.Anybody have any experience with Aetna vs. Anthem blue cross blue shield? Switched jobs recently and have to pick between the two. Really wish I could’ve stayed with United, my last employees plan was good to me.
Honestly make sure you look at the plan summary carefully for each. Think about what your actual need is. Look at deductibles if that applies or co pays. Feel free to message me if you have any questions about the plans i may be able to help out since it’s something I deal with in my current job.Anybody have any experience with Aetna vs. Anthem blue cross blue shield?

I think only one group in this country talk crap about other countries' healthcare.Healthcare been a scam. People will go to lengths ****ting on how other countries do their healthcare but casually ignore that the people in those places NEVER have to file for bankruptcy for their bills.
I had PT last year. Insurance covered most, but I still looked at the itemization when the paperwork came in just out of curiosity.
The PT clinic was charging like $100 for 3 minutes of stupid little resistance band warmup exercises. $200 for about 4 minutes of light massage. $200 for 5 mins of electric stim.
Insane. Makes sense why insurance companies are thieves. Some of these doctors are wildin too.
Shieeeet I love Italy would def live therethis whole country is getting ready to burn down.
