Important information regarding Medicare and SURPRISE BILLING.
Imagine going to the hospital for a routine checkup, or even something more serious. A few weeks later, you get a letter in the mail with your bill. You have no indication how much it’s going to cost, and it might end up being a lot higher than you were expecting.
Surprise billing has been a serious issue in recent years. Many individuals and families find themselves in serious financial trouble after a medical procedure or process because they were not aware in advance how much it was going to cost. While this is especially true of complex procedures like surgery or hospital stays, it can even happen after a routine checkup or lab visit.
There is now legislation in place that is attempting to mitigate this problem, which is good news for patients. If you’re interested in more information regarding your rights and your avenue to restitution if your hospital hits you with a surprise bill, read the helpful article below:
