If a provider is unable to inform you about the cost of services in advance, or if the insurer claims the treatment was not medically necessary, you may have grounds to challenge the bill, and in some cases, your provider may need to reduce it. For example, if an ambulance takes you to the emergency room and you are admitted to the hospital for several days, but your insurance later says the care was not medically necessary, that can be disputed. I recently handled a case like this where a patient went from the emergency room into the hospital and was told the care wasn’t medically necessary. I was able to reduce that bill from $44,000 down to zero. If this happens to you, please reach out. These situations are becoming more common, and I’m here to help. Thank you.
