I have always said that our health care system is broken (as far as insurance is concerned)...my son went to wound care for four months with a copay of $52.16...it ended Dec 31, 2020. I get a bill for $1,378 for his vistis all the way back to September. I call and ask...billing tells me it is my deductable. I say, I didn't ask that question. I wanted to know why I wasn't billed monthly (no explanation) and why it costs so much...again I get the that's your deductable...again, I say...not my question. What is the cost? They don't know and direct me to another department whrere I have to request itemized bills. I submit request.
I get a packet of pages where every visit to woulnd care is $574 and with visits have an additional $950 added on. I call and ask what these charges are for....no one can answer except say that the amount is not what I owe bu twhet they are billing insurance for. Yes, I know what what was done in wound care that merits $574 and $1,400...no answer,...treansferred to patient care...patient care understand my frustration and will ensure that I get answers...that was a month ago. I got a new bill saying that I am part due.
Maybe it's time for a different way to do this.
