I’m not sure it works that way. My daughter needs $300 plus in deductible costs prior to a cat scan and MRI to check a lump in her breast. I always thought they billed you afterwards, it seems you need the money up front now. I guess for poor people without cash that means no healthcare at all with the upfront deductible?
With tanglement in everyone’s ‘health care’, hospitals are not sure they will EVER get paid.
So now things are literally COD.
