@garneska the health insurance scam is getting out of control. Once in a blue moon, someone here will need a quick visit to the health system. They’ll send a bill. I’ll call and tell them we are paying out of pocket and the bill magically reduces to 50% of the original bill.

Hospitals & Health Insurance - it’s like the tail wagging the dog.

Hope the knees are good to go.

Hospitals move the price up because they know the insurance will, at best, only offer to pay 50% of whatever is billed. As long as insurance is allowed to run unchecked hospitals have no choice but to raise the cost to compensate for it. I've worked healthcare for 27 years and i assure you, nobody hates insurance companies more than the medical field.

However, DO NOT want to cause a discussion to get this long beloved thread closed so @garneska hope those knees keep getting better.
