How to Negotiate Medical / Hospital Bills

A recent NY Times piece titled Bargaining Down the Medical Bills which has practical advice on how one might negotiate medical and hospital bills particularly in the time where everyone is looking for areas to save money on.

Highlights:
  • DON’T BE SHY
  • OFFER TO PAY CASH UPFRONT
  • BE RESPECTFUL
  • STRIKE A DEAL, THEN CHECK IN
  • MAKE A COUNTEROFFER

Of course I appreciated the opportunity to be quoted as well.

Please also check out our new service www.healthcarebluebook.com, a free guide to healthcare pricing for consumers. Prices come from what PPOs pay their providers.

This is a huge problem and it's great to see the medical community addressing it.
