…..Or you can do nothing. This is the equivalent of going into your wallet, taking all the money out of your bill fold, and flushing the money down the toilet….. By Bob DeMarco Alzheimer’s Reading Room Problems with medical billing errors drive me crazy. Not our bills, but the medical bills of relatives and friends. I understand why people might be frustrated or confused. Did you ever try to read a typical medical bill? The only person that can read a typical medical bill is a person that has been trained to read one. Here is real issue, only 20 percent of medical bills are correct. If you took a 100 question multiple choice test and checked A for every answer, it is likely that you would get 25 percent of the questions correct. I am assuming that you didn’t bother to read the questions. So you would do better by guessing every question on a multiple choice test then a typical medical billing company can will do when sending out medical bills. When someone complains to me about their medical bill I start by telling them–you are complaining to the wrong person. Then I explain to them what to do about it–pick up the phone and call whoever is billing you. Or you can do nothing. This is the equivalent of going into your wallet, taking all the money out of your bill fold, and flushing the money down the toilet. Wave to your money as it disappears down the toilet drain. Feel good? Make you happy? I learned a long time ago, you can negotiate down the price of any medical bill
