As consumers of health care suffer higher deductibles and reduced insurance benefits, it is always important to understand and even negotiate prices before treatment.

Dr. Kathryn Stewart, medical director of care management at Mount Sinai Hospital in Chicago said, patients can and should be more proactive to find the best prices for their services.

"Hospital costs are probably 40 to 50% of what their (list price) will be charged," she said. But when it comes to legislation, is "Most hospitals are happy to break even or have some advantage. "

Is there enough space to negotiate and reduce your tax-free.
1. Ask your doctor, your allies are
If you are shopping for medical services, you probably have a primary care physician who try the service primarily directed.

"You need a diagnosis from someone," said Stewart. "So, this person will be your lawyer."

Stewart advises patients, their doctors, where are the best hospitals are in the recommended procedure and the centers work with patients asking to drop out of pocket expenses, and even provide for their help in this system, the Ministry of Finance communication.

"If the hospital where a doctor, the doctor approached recognizes the patient's name, I think (the patient) could be anywhere in the hospital. Let's say I have a patient in my practice, it has a very high deductible (insurance) plans, and they need to undergo a hysterectomy (I) could tell the finance and approach. "I have these patients, but not (enough) insurance and they can not afford to pay a high price but they can not afford to pay. Can you work with them? "

2. Compare the costs of using the CPT code
Although your doctor may be willing to engage in conversation with the hospital funding, you can always expect to have several conversations with them on their own. Before calling, make sure the "current procedural terminology code, or CPT for the procedure you are looking for.

"CPT is the technical term for the billing code. "This is a five-digit number with which the method statement, Jane Cooper, president and CEO of Patient Care, a company promoting health in Milwaukee said.

Cooper, says your doctor or physician practice, you can enter the code and the number is the same in hospitals. With this code, you can compare several medical centers, prices for the same process.
3. Find friends in the billing department
to ask when calling different medical centers, for the billing department and ask them what they charge you for the procedure.

"You should be able to get (price) information, by stubbornly around 80% of the time," said Cooper. "If the representative will give you the answer you need, ask the manager. Again and again asked for the manager. "

Your success in this area can help determine if you have finally decided to use this option for your treatment.

"If the hospital or doctor will not tell you what they charge, so my advice would be to go to another doctor or hospital," said Cooper.
4. Negotiate lower prices and payment terms
If you're lucky enough to comparative information and a replacement hospital is cheaper to go to the hospital of origin to see if they match the lower rate. If all hospitals can get for free at a similar level, try to negotiate a discount with one of them.

Remember that hospitals ready to deal with people who have serious financial problems at work. If you need to have completed a process, but we believe that there is no way to ask to pay the bill, if the hospital is ready to develop a payment plan.

"Many hospitals have inadequate instructions (some) people," said Stewart. "They have sliding scales and fee (to be arranged in a position) different payment methods."

The Commonwealth Fund released a report in which he argues that within the next 10 years, 30 million women in the United States would benefit from changes in legislation medical insurance, making insurance more affordable. Health Care Reform Communications, both stabilize and reverse the shortcomings in the health insurance that women faced for decades.
Women health needs, which often leave them more susceptible to high medical costs associated with lack of health insurance. This includes the fact that women of reproductive age are considered at higher risk than men of comparable age because of pregnancy and related health problems. Thus, women are not only not so easy to get private health plans and higher compensation if they do get coverage, but most individual policies do not cover even a pregnancy.
Karen Davis, president of the Commonwealth Fund, noted that historically, women have also had great difficulty covering their medical bills because of lower revenues. A new study finds millions of women, will now receive because of health reform will subsidize health insurance for up to 15 million women who are currently uninsured and development of existing coverage of 14.5 million who now have inadequate insurance.
"This report provides good news for all women to be more likely to get the care they need, with a reduced risk of incurring unaffordable medical bills, which have affected so many Americans," said Davis. The report, entitled "Implementing health care reform in the Potential: Women and affordable health Act 2010, is just one of a series of reports planned by the Commonwealth Fund, which will provide information on how to reform the health system is expected to affect different groups population.
Under the new law, women who live in states that have higher than average rates of uninsured will benefit the most. These include Texas and New Mexico (29% uninsured in 2008), Florida, Louisiana (24%), and Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Mississippi, Nevada, Oklahoma and West Virginia (on At least 20%).
The bad news? They have to wait until 2014 before they can assess the maximum benefit from the package of health reform. Only a few items to begin in 2010, for example, bans on rescissions of insurance policies, a ban on the term limits on benefits, and being eligible for the new health insurance plan, if you have pre-existing conditions.
Since 2014, uninsured women who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid will be able to buy insurance through the state of the exchange. Women who earn less than 400 percent of poverty or $ 88,000 for a family of four will be eligible for government subsidies to help offset their contributions and out-of-pocket expenses. An estimated 7 million uninsured women may be eligible for subsidized coverage through the insurance exchange.
Also, since 2014, health insurance companies must accept everyone who applies for insurance, and they can not charge higher premiums based on health status or sex. All health plans sold through the new public insurance markets, both individual and small group markets will be required to cover maternity and newborn care as well.
The report of the Commonwealth Fund guarantees millions of women that the best days are: their health insurance options are not only more abundant, but they will also provide a wider range of medical services. The fruits of this promise benefitsare 4 more years of us, and for many women, that four years is too long.
