Tried this she basically laughed & told me I needed to go on a payment plan.

Oh, I just thought we were stopping at “don’t pay it.”

This is all great to hear, but would be better if hospitals wouldnt be allowed to price gouge

I tell them I have financial hardship and they knock off 50%. I’ve done this multiple times.

I tell EVERYONE THIS! 50% of my job is negotiating hospital bills and it is always a 30-50% reduction always!!

after April 2023, medical collections under $500 would no longer appear on consumer credit reports ✨

First…always ask for an itemized bill! There are always mistakes on hospital bills…per my physician father. I agree with you after seeing the itemized statement(s).

I paid $25k in insurance premiums last year. I won't pay another dime, it's ridiculous.

Negotiating gives me such anxiety. They’d probably tell me no once and I would be all ok you’re right sorry.

First thing is to ask for an itemized bill! You’d be surprised how much it drops by when they have to go line by line

Call the hospital and ask for financial services. I called for my daughter’s birth. They asked me a few questions and they covered it 100%

“Charity care assistance” at hospitals covers many more people than you might initially think. This is a great tip too.

this is good advice until this remainder is thousands of dollars still. 70% is still too much for most Americans.

They’ll also send you a bill before your insurance pays and then they get double paid

I just went thru this. a company says they billed my insurance, but 1 phone call said no they never did. Make those calls, it could save you thousands!! Now i always wait for the EOB.

They don’t take that anymore. They will let you make a payment plan forever.

Worked in financial services and my manager taught me this. Take it 1 step further google financial assistance (hospital name) and apply before ever paying.

Was so confused at first then realised I’ve stumbled onto USA TikTok and I don’t need to worry about this because healthcare is free.

You're basically saying to ignore the bill from the hospital until you get a statement from your insurer, correct?
