Always go to urgent care, mostly 10 pm or midnight varaku open untaay. ER ki worst case lo vellali if it’s life threatening or outside of these urgent care hours

You can always talk and negotiate to reduce it

you can ask for itemized bill so that they exactly specify which charge is for which treatment or test. some time ila itemized adigithe konni silly charges teesestharu. Another thing is that you can try disputing charges with your own insurance company first then with hospital. Also you might have gone to out of network hospital which is why those charges. never go to ER if it is before 10 PM. you can try URgent care in network if it open during that time.

anadaru chala manchiga message chestunaru, neeku enduku anna noti doola!

i know how these plans work, the question is about how much ER generally charge as its my first experience with it!

in order to get HSA employer match , needs to be on HDP .

adhe aa hsa kosam kakkurthi padi ila bokka eyyinchukuntav

 

consider total premium + deductible - hsa savings 

if that is better , go with hsa or else go with low deductible plan

emergency room లో జరిగే లీలలు…

మీరు inpatient గా ఉన్నప్పుడు ఎవరెవరో వచ్చి మీతో మాట్లాడుతారు…వాల్లు నర్సులో డాక్టర్లో కూడా అర్దం కాదు…కొన్ని సార్లు…hi honey how are you? what happened to you..? అంటారు…ఇంటికో బిల్లు పంపిస్తారు..అదేదో ధెరపీ అని…
