[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I’ve worked with ER billing on some huge payments (because at the time I had a really high deductible and sadly 2 ER visits in a month)….. they let me negotiate it down to 50% if I paid within 24 hours.

I did. That knocked off thousands. But I had to pay thousands all at once.

I’m not sure if that’s a weird scam on their part. But. I feel like it was the best I could do.[/quote]

And not relevant to you, but I watched the insurance claim come in 30 days later to make sure I didn’t get a bad deal.

I hadn’t. The claim came in with me being reponsible for 100% of the insurance rate. Something like 2-3k per visit.

What I had paid was a good deal. I guess the hospital just wrote off that portion, and they’d prefer to have my money now.

**I just remembered, I only did that for the 2nd visit. Got smart…. The first visit, they at least let me set up a no-interest auto pay plan. So I divided it out across 24 months or something, with no fees.[/quote]
