Bills, bills, bills

Yesterday I got the bill from my hospital stay. They want $2200 from me. At least, that's what they claim they want. In reality, there's a 75% cash discount if I contact them within 25 days or so.

I'll be calling them with my insurance info on Monday to get things settled up.

Apparently, if you simply ask them, they tend to reduce the bill too.

Aren't you glad that you have medical insurance through Palm?

Did they give you an itemized list of every procedure and cost of all medical materials? I would be interested to find out their billing procedure. It certainly makes our "socialized" system even with those dreaded wait times a monetary comfort when it comes to billing.
