This is honestly sad y’all need someone in power who really turns your government around this should not be a thing.

That is still absolutely insane. I was reading a thread about medical bills in other countries. An American in Japan needed an emergency root canal and with Xrays the cost was less than $100. What we pay is absolutely insane in this country.

Our medical is so ridiculous! There’s no reason for it to cost this much just to be sure we stay alive 😩

Is there any kind of financial aid the hospital offers? Maybe look on their website, just for the heck of it and see what you can see 🤷♀️

I will take a look thanks for the suggestion!

Call the ladies in the billing office and ask about the charity programs or any sliding scale programs that you could fill out the paperwork and apply for. The hospital here when I had to have surgery had a couple offered, but you have to fill out the application within like 60 days of the treatment, or SOMETHIN like that, for it to be covered. DEF have a conversation with the billing ladies though!

Yeah I almost fainted when we got the $43,000 helicopter bill from my husband being lifelined. 😅 Medical bills are insane.

Yep. Same with when my oldest was life flighted. Like $47k or something. Thank god for insurance. That would have ruined us.

@two.tiny.texans.aka.mrs.puff at first our insurance tried fighting their portion of the bill because the helicopter company was out of network even though he was at an in network hospital. It was so scary thinking we were liable for the total amount. 😳

I know this pain. We spend between $12-15k out of pocket per year on deductibles right now. I’m so glad we at least qualify for tax credit because it’s over 10% of AGI. And we have a medi-cal waiver for my son and still come out of pocket that much. We stay on a payment plan...

Yikes that’s rough! If you are a lower income family you can ask for a write off or a discount. We actually didn’t pay for either of our hospital bills with my c-sections thanks to their financial aid. It helps a lot.
