EP61 Negotiating Medical Bills Made Easy
Bicyclists sometimes deal with expensive medical bills which range from around $30,000 to $60,000. It depends on what the hospital does to treat them. For this, Richard Duquette talks about Negotiating Medical Bills Made Easy. Tune in for some tips and insights about it!
Start of the Problem
The problem in negotiating medical bills typically starts after the bicyclist receives them. Add to that the calls he receives from the insurance agencies.
Such situations can be very stressful for the injured bicyclist. In the future, Richard will talk about unfair debt collection laws.
Tip #1: Request an Itemized Billing Statement
When you discharge from the hospital, ask for an itemized billing statement. That will help you audit bills and ensure you get the services from your health insurance.
"You want to make sure that you're only paying for what you owe." - Richard Duquette on Negotiating Medical Bills Made Easy
You can compare the billing statement's accuracy with your medical records. That way, you can check whether there is a double billing, a charge for something you didn't get, or any other error.
Tip #2: Request a Copy of Your Explanation of Benefits (EOB)
Secure a copy of your EOB from your health care and insurance company. Your EOB indicates the items billed and paid.
Earlier this year, Richard handled a case where he helped reduce the amount from $60,000 to $100. Likewise with your EOB, you can check if you can get a discount for specific services from your hospital.
