[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you know he was going to ER? The Urgent Care doctor "recommended" right. It was your/your kid's call to go. [/quote]

I knew he was going where the guy recommended. My da actually asked about cost he said and the guy said it would be a copay. I’m not there so I was not going to tell him not to get medical attention after doctor said go to ER and he might go deaf! If he were home we’d have done things differently. In any case I still don’t get why this is not a copay because we do have an ER copay and I’ve never had a copay not kick in before deductible.[/quote]

I’d follow up with your insurance before paying 2k.[/quote]

Insurance are the ones saying it will be full pay bc we have not met deductible, which does not make a lot of sense due to copay.[/quote]

My kid had an ER visit for a freak accident out of state in a game. The hospital charged $40,000, which the insurance company paid 10k. I was outraged by the numbers, especially when she came home to our hospitals and had more (expensive testing). They wanted 1,800 from us. I asked for itemized billing which is required under law. They never provided it. I filed a complaint with the attorney general of the state, which they ignored for over a year. They sent two bill collectors. I filed a cease and desist action. Two years later, they are trying to settle the claim for 10 percent of the 1800.

Bottom line: you have rights and if you feel stronger, fight it.[/quote]

I reread what I wrote above and mean to say the hospital at home charged 20% less than the er visit and the testing was much more extensive. [/quote]
