Just got done on the phone to strongly contest an outrageous bill sent to medicare and our supplemental, Fed Blue Cross.
When I drove myself and checked into ER back on Jan 6th for high blood pressure, had tests and stayed overnight for test results, I drove myself home the next afternoon, all about 24 hours. The hospial billed mdeicare and the Blue Cross for $20,828,42 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I called the insurance, they referred me to the hospital billing, she referred me to the billing service and she referred me to a Charlotte at the hospital who finally helped to resolve. They made a mistake of over $5,000 and are going to credit medicare and Blue Cross for that amount. After all this, think my BP is back up there. Is not this criminal ?
Anyway hope this helps to make you all aware . Still too high for being in the hospital for 24 hours for high blood pressure and heart tests.
The bill for my hip replacement in January of 2005 was $36,000.
This was at Providence Hospital in Anchorage,
Cheaper to die !!!!!!!!!!!!!11
