Medical Bills

My husband went in about 2 months ago for his scheduled blood work, etc since he completed his chemo last year. I received 3 different bills (why can't they just consolidate bills?) Anyway, I just paid the first one, but just a reminder to everyone, make sure you as for discounts! Even if you have insurance, as he does I always ask for discounts. The doctors usually give me 10% off if we pay in full, which is the bill I just paid. The other two are from the hospital and they usually will give me 20% off if I pay these in full. These discounts add up quick, so make sure you ask. These are the bills we pay against our deductible, your insurance company still factors in the total amount they are billing you for against your deductible, but you are paying 10 or 20% less. As things are getting tight these days, every bit helps!
