I just can't seem to catch a break, Last month my mom totaled her mini van, Friday I had to take her to ER due to some internal bleeding, Yesterday on my way back from feeding my sons pets some idiot turned left in front of me and this happened.Then I end up taking my wife to the ER because she was having pain in her chest from the seatbelt, But when they checked her out they found she was in A-fib so they had her in there until 11:00pm. They gave her some meds to take, but the 2 week supply cost $157.00. I'm going to have to fight with the guys insurance company to get my car fixed (of course it's the same company as the last person that turned left in front of me a couple years ago) And I have a 3 day shoot that's all paid for coming up. I just wish something, anything would go my way for once.
If you need more meds, try using GoodRX. Even with excellent insurance we use it to bring med costs down.
Also Try yelling at the Hospital Director of Patient Services.
Bring up
“cost transparency”
“Hospital Blue Book Prices”
Comparison of med costs against “GoodRX”
They will often reduce the bill if you complain.
Then mention taking the whole thing to AARP, your local congress critter, and an Elder Advocate Lawyer.
The hospital bluee book is all about lso called “list prices” then the negotiated discounted price they charge insurance companies. YOU should be able to get that discounted price.
Sorry about your misfortunes, and good luck
