I think you should have stuck to your guns and refused to pay the invoice on grounds that you were quoted a fee for the service. Legally speaking, the fact that you paid in advance shows that they DID quote you a fixed fee.<br /><br />The medical industry has become a bully. Yes, big government makes it hard on them... but then they turn around and unjustly punish us with poor service and a horrid billing system that often overcharges.Jeramiahhttp://townsendcreations.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537910058667804944.post-39056703575614698942012-04-23T13:04:17.517-04:002012-04-23T13:04:17.517-04:00Here is a service that I found.

I too asked for pricing, was switched back a forth to serveral different people before finding the correct person. I paid the quoted price up front,in full, only to receive a bill later for $700.00 more than quoted. I called, and they told me that they could only give an estimate, something I wasn't told before hand. I was able to get the $700.00 cut in half. Always ask question and shop for services!!!Gina Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06009065826799960185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537910058667804944.post-37648263149721885742012-04-23T12:06:52.871-04:002012-04-23T12:06:52.871-04:00Thank you.

The service was terrible. They lost paperwork, samples, and more. It took us 2 extra hours to get out of there simply because they lost our paperwork. In the end, the work they performed was of such low quality that our Doctor asked us to get the service redone from a different 3rd party provider.<br /><br />When we got the bills, the hospital was 4 times as expensive as the 3rd party provider! And the hospital provided less than half the service. The hospital offered us a 10% discount for being "self-pay". (just FYI - 10% should not be considered a discount)<br /><br />My solution: file an official complaint with the hospital, never pay a bill unless it is itemized, & I refused to pay this bill in question since their service was so bad (below required medical standards as per numerous other doctors/medical professionals) I had to get the procedure redone elsewhere.<br /><br />Unfortunately People need to pay close attention to medical billing.<br /><br />Thanks for this informative article.Jeramiah Townsendhttp://townsendcreations.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537910058667804944.post-52424164769779396572012-04-23T09:05:28.098-04:002012-04-23T09:05:28.098-04:00One might also reference the Medicare Allowable in...One might also reference the Medicare Allowable in their area. In most States, Medical Allowable for a CT Scan is well under $300. This is public information on the CMS.gov website. <br /><br />Most providers will welcome a 100% Medicare rate paid 100% at time of service.<br /><br />Thx.<br /><br />Pete<br />selfpaymri.comNovichokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16646228452618427514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537910058667804944.post-4638264370956847352012-04-22T19:58:35.726-04:002012-04-22T19:58:35.726-04:00Your strategy is brilliant.

It would tilt the current payment structure on its head as providers scrambled to accommodate this new model.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
