7 Reasons why you need a Medical Bill Advocate

December 5, 2008

Healthcare costs continue to skyrocket. If you have health insurance, your deductible has increased; meaning you’re paying more out of your checkbook before your insurance does. In these rough economic times we need to save money any way we can.

People hire lawyers to help them with legal matters, accountants for their taxes and mechanics to change the oil in their cars.  Using these professionals saves us time and money.   Since you’re spending more of your own money on medical bills,  don’t you want to make every dollar count?

There are many more than seven reasons to seek out a medical bill advocate, but these should make you stop and think.

1. 8 out of 10 medical bills contain errors

2. Medical providers often balance bill consumers for money they don’t owe

3. 1 in 3 Americans has trouble paying their medical bills

4. In 2004 almost half of all Americans under age 65 spent more than $2,000 in medical expenses. This is the latest published rate, which has surely increased due to rising healthcare costs and deductibles

5. The healthcare industry, like others (automobile, hotel, airline) has different rates depending on who pays the bill

6 Lasest published data shows per person healthcare spending at $7,435.00 and in 10 years it is projected to almost double

7. Medical bills are difficult to read and understand.  Plus who has time to wait on hold calling the hospital, doctor or insurance company
