Here is the deal.
You have a MRI and the hospitalization pays the bill.
Look at that bill its says the cost of the MRI $2,315 dollars, Under that it says Hospitalization paid $435 dollars, the hospital accepted that and you owe nothing.
You go in there with a $3,000 dollars deductible and you will pay $2315 dollars right off the top.Not the $435.
Obamacare screwed you again.
Happy friggin Birthday.
We need to tar and feather every SOB who voted for this crap.
I don’t think this is about Obama Care high deductible plans, which are both expensive and have high deductibles. I think this is talking about high deduct plans (with or without HSAs) that have been around for a while.
We have one. It has a 10K deductible BUT…BUT...It is about 10 thousand dollars less expensive than a low deductible plan per year in premium…..it’s simpler, less paperwork and so on. I think most people who are on such a pln understand it. But again, we don’t have all the Obamacare strings attached to it.
It’s like the old major medical stuff…WHICH WORKED!
My experience has been the opposite. I get the contract price, but have to pay it myself. The typical price for the MRI is $2500 list, $900 negotiated. I pay the $900.
We need to shame all Obama voters.
