An excellent series. Ive been practicing medicine for over 30 years. I knew that billed charges had no connection to reality but never knew how price negotiations worked.

This was amazing. I just came out of an admission for pneumonia and also, my insurance is in negotiations with the facility I normally go to. Full circle! Very relevant info and opened my eyes.

Dr.Bricker, great work! Can you make a video talking about insurance reimbursement on outpatient freestanding imaging? They might not charge $2000 for an MRI exam? What's the future for those walk-in clinics and op imaging center? Thank you!

Does the allowed amount equal to all insurance coverage and patient payment(deductibles, copay, out of pocket). So when we talked about savings? What are we talking about savings for whom?
@ahealthcarez Жыл бұрын
Great question. You are correct. Therefore, may be totally patient responsibility if part of the deductible or totally plan responsibility if after out-of-pocket max or some combination of patient and plan if in between deductible and out-of-pocket max. Clear as mud. 😉🤦♂️

Now that all the plans are publicly available for every provider, procedure, and payer due to that Transparency in Coverage mandate, do you see any major changes that will occur on how these plans will be negotiated?

Likely will continue to be hidden, IMO. Thank you for watching and for your question.

please discuss the marketplace plans that either through premiums or deductibles or a combo of both you pay at least 10,000.00 out of pocket if you need any care beyond preventative care?So basically we pay to have insurance but are paying for things like kidney stones out of pocket.Then the year is over and you start over with anew deductible. Folks then can't afford any more care cuz they are broke after paying the 10,000.00 dollars the previous year.
