It's called "cost shifting" a crooked practice that gouges people like you to subsidize all the "free healthcare" to medical-welfare parasites.
Tell the hospital you are going to expose them and others to the public, and work to get the unethical "cost shifting" practice banned outright.
I’ve already spoken to the hospital. Cigna has spoken to the hospital.
Nobody’s taking that charge off the bill and give me time, I will get it dealt with.
The hospital will justify the cost of the medicated talc powder. I don’t know how but hey, if they want to charge $76 for two ounces of talc, why can’t they? Well yeah, if the insurance does not pay but hey, the insurance refused to pay. I spent a couple of hours on the phone one day dealing with this.
So the money is still on my bill and sooner or later it will end up on my credit record. It’s how they do and yeah I’ve fought those battles before and won.
But take this to the bank, nobody at that hospital will remove those charges. NOBODY. Ain’t going to happen.
Oh, and my daughter, afflicted by Muncheussen where one fakes sickness....is 39 years old. I calculated HER costs to taxpayers and it is now at ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS!
But they don’t want to deal with Muncheusen although they all know it.
Don’t just think it’s welfare parasites/illegal immigrants driving up the cost of health for decent people like me willing to pay our share.
Myself, and you all, are why Donald trump got elected.
Wait and see how he handles the situation.
Whatever the outcome, I shall honor, respect and obey.
