COVID-19 survivor receives $1.1M hospital bill.......

[mango]

After spending months hospitalized for COVID-19 at Swedish Medical Center in Issaquah, Wash., Michael Flor, 70, says that he knew his stay would be pricey. He’d spent 62 days in an intensive care unit, including weeks in an induced coma, and come so close to death that his family had called to say goodbye. But he says it was still “heart-stopping” to read the hospital’s bill — for $1.1 million.

“I had to look at it a number of times… to see if I was seeing it right,” Flor, a Seattle resident, tells TIME.
The 181-page bill included almost 3,000 itemized charges, the Seattle Times reported. His room in the intensive care unit alone had cost about $9,700 a day, Flor says.

That's just the hospital legally fleecing the daylights out of Medicaid and by Medicaid I mean US taxpayers. The same beyond corrupt system that dummyrats want for the rest of our country. Is this all you do, sissy bitch about all things Covid? Get a life, manhole.

But I thought hospitals only made money for deaths? :think2:. That’s what the far right extremist whackos were holding onto for months.

President Trump signed legislation authorizing hospitals to bill the federal government directly. Manhole's sources will never tell him that, so he doesn't know.

Mistakes will still made and are correctable. Manhole's sources don't tell him that, so he doesn't.

The Manholes of this world NEVER pay any medical expense, they get a free ride for everything. Manhole should know this, but if his sources don't tell him this he might not realize who's been paying his bills for his entire life.

No that's the only way hospitals make money, Casper the white forum idiot. That's just how the CDC incentivized hospitals to report things like people coming in from drug overdoses and calling them Covid19 deaths. Understand now, white boy?

I don't even pretend to know the "how's" of getting paid work here... And frankly suspect truth be told no-one here KNOWS all the facts about this particular incident. What I have found amazing in my few hospitals stays is that the bill and what they are actually paid is somewhere around 15% of what Medicare or Blue Cross gives them. It varies but the bill is paid in full for way less that what they bill.. This may be different. I just know without insurance, that I would have filled bankruptcy a couple of times!
