I had occasion to try out my government health plan a few weeks ago at our local community hospital emergency room. I knew ER visits could be expensive and wondered what the bill would be.
I have since received an accounting:
ER Billed Charges $6797.42
Government Plan Discount $5,906.42
My Share $181.11
At 90% off billed charges that’s got to be the best “managed care” discount in the market.
These charges don’t include professional services.
