A few years ago I received a bill from my wife’s hospital stay. (I had a 6K deductible) for $ 3,600.00. I called and said I did not feel it was right that I be charged more than an insurance company and that I was ready to write a check immediately. The woman said to please hold as she had to check with her supervisor. When she came back she said, “How does $ 1,200.00 sound?”
A medical savings account makes a lot of this possible. The next best thing is a cash savings account,
“I did not feel it was right that I be charged more than an insurance company”
How did you know that you were being charged more than an insurance company?
