20 for a tylenol
That’s cheap. It’s 80 the last time I paid out of pocket.
When I used to pay out of pocket, they would bill me the usual ridiculous numbers, but I would get on the phone with AR and tell them I’m paying out of pocket, and follow it up with an actual plan to pay.
They scrapped all of the normal numbers and gave it to me straight. And yeah, that 80 tylenol (Figurative, of course) still cost $10 but it was a help for them to bring things back to normal figures.
I just threw that number out because I’ve read horror stories about how expensive hospital care was/is. My uncle had to pay $2500 for an ambulance ride of just 35 miles to the local hospital when he fainted. IOW, don’t get sick, ever. Or hurt.
