看到这样一个故事,简单说就是没有保险的病人的账单从3万降到5千,能说明有保险的人多付了六倍的

钱吗?

 

yesterday
I have a friend in Missouri that had to have her gall bladder removed. No insurance.The bill was $30,000. Another friend took her to the hospital billing office to try to find a way to pay,( she had been unemployed, just stated working as a waitress), and gave them her information. The short story, by the time she left the office, her $30,000 bill was reduced to $5,000. So, in effect, the hospital was charging 6 times the amount of the actual bill, seeking to get a bonanza from an insurance company.

明尼苏达的一项深入调查发现同样一个医疗程序收费可以相差几倍,监管有待加强。 -Santaiyang- 给 Santaiyang 发送悄悄话 (0 bytes) () 08/19/2018 postreply 16:07:03

医院的Bill与最后的付款二码事,犹如商品的MSP一样。保险公司都有一套事先医院认可的公式,通常1/5-1/2 -Iknowno- 给 Iknowno 发送悄悄话 (0 bytes) () 08/19/2018 postreply 16:41:51

那为什么不直接用实际费用做账单? -五刀口- 给 五刀口 发送悄悄话 (0 bytes) () 08/19/2018 postreply 16:45:40

哈哈,那保险公司的业务就下降了。医院还是需要保险公司的稳定付费的。 -30512- 给 30512 发送悄悄话 30512 的博客首页 (74 bytes) () 08/19/2018 postreply 17:11:33

一网子下去总会有几个按照bill付钱的嘛 -Iknowno- 给 Iknowno 发送悄悄话 (0 bytes) () 08/19/2018 postreply 17:57:29

因为超级浪费也算入。医院许多没有拆封过的,只因为换了地方,就当成是用过的。 -spooky- 给 spooky 发送悄悄话 (206 bytes) () 08/19/2018 postreply 20:35:58

商店买东西也有打折的,医疗账单打折也正常。还有追债的也打折。 -iBear- 给 iBear 发送悄悄话 iBear 的博客首页 (0 bytes) () 08/19/2018 postreply 18:33:13

家人有个账单将近2000保险不管,他们先说降到900,最后降到300 -新年好运- 给 新年好运 发送悄悄话 (0 bytes) () 08/20/2018 postreply 17:33:20

我想他们开2000是为了弥补有人赖账那部分损失,真正的价值就是300 -新年好运- 给 新年好运 发送悄悄话 (0 bytes) () 08/20/2018 postreply 17:35:37
