[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you going to a hospital for Botox???? [/quote]

This. I recognize it isn't helpful to hear this after the fact, but hospital facility fees are much, much higher than outpatient centers.[/quote]

Listen prick DCUM’ers, op said this if what she did. I’m sure she didn’t push to go to a hospital and be charged a 13k extra fee, but someone suggested it to her and she, assuming medical practitioners were following their oath and ethics, agreed. I’ve had non cosmetic Botox and I have it done in a ‘procedure’ room, not in a regular patient setting. It’s not something that should have been OP’s issue to catch, so move on. You are annoying AF [/quote]

If it isn't the patient's responsibility to check coverage, whose responsibility is it? The provider directory didn't bill the facility fee- the hospital did. Did the OP check with the hospital and/or her insurance company?

For any elective procedures, you need to be very, very careful before having them done at a hospital. No, it isn't fair, but you need to triple check coverage for every provider and facility involved.[/quote]

I mean, Congress has to keep passing laws to protect Americans from the predatory practices of the healthcare industry, but sure, OP should have known to ask if she was going to be charged a 5 figure facility fee.[/quote]
