Yeah definitely

But it's even worse thsn that

Like actually lie about the contents itself in the actual labeling itself, not the branding part, and threaten employees into doing the dirty work for em

CRYINGG dennis a legend

He had some ghost vocals on club paradise but that’s all that comes to mind

(Full disclosure that I've only worked in general practice medical billing and not hospital billing, but many of the same rules apply to both sectors)

Regardless of whether it will end with an adjustment to the overall balance, you can always dispute a bill; and just about every major healthcare facility and doctor's office will offer at least some sort of discount to you through their financial assistance program if you can't afford to pay the balance in full. Doctors want to get paid because insurance stiffs healthcare providers at every level, so if you're willing to pay any amount of the bill in installments they will usually cut you a deal - it's typical to see an adjustment on your bill of up to 25%, which is a pretty sizable amount of money. Over the phone is the best way to handle all this stuff

Also, speak with their billing department to see if their Self-Pay rates are more or less than what you'd be paying compared to how your insurance carrier adjudicated the claim. Many healthcare facilities and offices will offer a Self-Pay price that is less than what you'd pay through insurance, and you may qualify for additional financial assistance discounts as a patient without insurance coverage. You can have a claim retracted from your insurance at any time if you choose to do so

But to see if you have a chance at disputing it; first, check out the Explanation of Benefits that your insurance sent you and check it against the bill that you're getting from the hospital; do they match up? If there is a discrepancy between what insurance says you owe and what the hospital says you owe, that's a start (obviously, don't do this if the EOB says you should owe more than the hospital is charging you). Also, check the EOB and bill against your discharge records to make sure that all the services you were billed for actually happened. Don't let anyone slip some weird surcharge in for care you didn't actually receive service lines put to PR mean that's the Patient Responsibility. CO = Contractual Obligation

Were you referred to the ER by a general practice healthcare provider, urgent care clinic, or other healthcare entity? Reach out to them and say "hey you guys told me to do this and now I have a bill I can't possibly afford to pay". If they are part of a Health Systems Partnership with that hospital, they have the power to have your bill discounted or waived

thats not the case BUT so many peoples mic performance does not match what they have to do when performing in front of a crowd of screaming people. that's why meek mill live music translates to well. and that.s why travs live autotune works well becasue its like a direct translation. Its not like drake is an amazing studio singer but so many people who can't like SING SING dont translate well to live performance it seems even when they work at it (idk how much he works at it atm tbh)

this isn't a secret cus its not true..

what we doing in this thread @op

I mean its $200 I can def pay it but 200 is a lot of for just checking vitals, doing an X-ray scan, and giving me a pain shot. Maybe that's reasonable pricing? Idk, but if I can get away with not paying or paying less I'm all for it.

Go ahead and snitch

this some b**** s*** I aint gone lie

they all know their companies are understaffed they just don't care bc it works #staywoke

gtfoh

Hospital billing is very notoriously overpriced, if there's no error on their part that you can find evidence of the best thing you can do is call them and say you can't afford it - it hasn't hit collections right? As long as it's not in a third party billing agency's hands, they'll work with you and cut the price down

OR you can run away from it, which also works more often than not. After 13 months without payment or update, your bill is going to be written off in 99.9% of occasions. The problem is dodging the calls and letters

in the automatic carwash business, the price you pay is almost entirely profit for the company. doesnt cost much of anything to wash your car.

electric cars are actually worse for the environment due to the way the batteries have to be manufactured. the better alternative is hybrid engines, but hybrids are not "cool" and dont have the wow factor a Tesla has for example

Not necessarily true depending on the country you charge your car in

If you live in a place with relatively clean energy in the long run it will more than make up for the impact of the battery

The battery itself is dirty, to mine the rare earth elements your you need these large open pit mines that completely destroy environment permanently

Oil you just drill a hole

i was working security at club paradise tour 2012 and met Drake’s dad. having met him, i 100% believe this

ppl b stupid aF. school or no school. degree or no degree. professional or not. ppl b stupid as a motherfuck

He wore that to Balenciaga show in May

"Just drill a hole" lmao

they give you bread before your meal when you go out to a restaurant bc bread will make your body want something sweet afterwards like dessert

Apparently the state can hire random people like me to handle all their statistics

So when u see on record that 800000000 people died in one year that was my mistake

Hydraulic engineers hate this one trick

Calling corporate to complain typical yield you better results / compensation and saves the minimum wage worker from in the moment stress
