Got hit with a sudden $2,900 emergency room bill last month. called the hospital billing office to ask for an itemized breakdown before paying a dime.
rep on the phone said: 'sure, we can mail that out, but your account is currently coded under our uninsured hardship discount.'
two days later, the itemized bill arrives in the mail. the total jumped from $2,900 to $8,400.
i called back completely confused.
the rep calmly explained: 'requesting an itemized review removes the automatic hardship adjustment. you are now billed at our standard chargemaster rate.'
a $4,600 penalty just for asking to see what services were actually performed. healthcare pricing in this country is an extortion racket where demanding transparency triggers a financial attack.
The fact that the head of the Ku Klux Klan can casually do an interview without being arraigned by the FBI for Hate Crimes and Domestic Terrorism is truly a slap in the face to all people of color in America
