Most of us aren’t aware of the amount of negotiation that often occurs over medical bills. Insurance companies routinely refuse to pay full billing, and doctors routinely accept partial payment. Presumably, clinics and hospitals find themselves in the same position, from time to time. Too often however, the consumer who underwent treatment gets caught in the middle. A serious injury results in six figure medical bills. The insurance company refuses to pay a large piece of it because ‘you spent too much time in rehabilitation’ or ‘that procedure wasn’t preauthorized’ or any number of other excuses.
At that point, the clinic or physician expects you to pay the balance. You are faced with an open-ended attorney’s bill, or an enormous medical debt.
