Yeah yeah, concerning stuff. You guys have a never ending agenda of concerning stuff.

This is actually pretty revealing, when the latest "concern" proves false, they just move on to the next one.

As I work in the contracting department of my hospital system, I can’t agree with this wholeheartedly.
The real damage by insurance carriers is at the federal level with lobbyists and laws.
Hospitals and doctors simply negotiate rates with contracted insurance carriers.
And that in of itself is a ridiculous endless circle.

I've been retired for almost 7 years now and realize things have changed and likely not for the better.

Somewhat off topic, but my daughter requires out patient surgery tomorrow, and they won't proceed unless she hands them $500 today.
She has full medical benefits through her employer and the hospital is a contracted provider for the insurance. Just seems odd, but maybe it's the new reality.

Proves false or fails.
You probably heard this before…to be a liberal is never having to say you’re sorry… which means that by their compassionate nature, that if a policy fails or creates more problems , it was the thought that counts. Thus no need for apologies, just move on to the next one.

If that's the copy - they have the right to collect up front.
If that's the deductible or coinsurance - they can ask, but they can't demand......if contracted.
You can decline and advise you want to wait until Remit / EOB is sent.
