Maybe we don't have it that bad?

I had to take my child to the ER recently for a sports related injury. After no testing and no meds, $700 for ER and $200 for follow-up with PCP. Total paid by Anthem, big fat 0. Total cost to me, $900. Thank you FedEx for this stupendous insurance that went from me paying nothing to me now paying $900. But, I'm lucky to still have a job (yes, sarcasm). FedEx Cares!!!

Similar here. I had to take a family member into ER for a life-threatening emergency. I drove at 100 mph because the hospital was close and knew that I would hit with a huge ambulance bill if my loved one had to be transported. Thanks, Fred!

Have you appealed their decision not to pay?

Just got the statement today. It's our new insurance. $1,200 member deductible, $3,600 family deductible.

You should he able to work out a payment plan with the hospital, if needed.

No need. Fortunately, I take advantage of the Flexible Spending Plan. This will almost deplete it though. Hopefully, no more injuries this year.

Just cut a $6000 check for a surgery. And my wife works at the hospital we get our insurance through. I'll trade you insurances...

I'd say she is at the wrong hospital or non union.

3000 family deductible. 20% After deductible for surgical services. 6000 max out of pocket. Better than paying the near 20k total bill. Only costs $10 a week for coverage though. Higher deductibles and more out of pocket is the way it's going for everyone.
