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.
