BOOK
The Medical Bill Survival Guide: What You Need to Know Before You Pay a Dime
Christopher Slone
$213.20

About this product:
If your or any of your friends or relatives have been into a hospital lately, you have noticed that as a patient you were probably treated well, but as a customer you were treated horribly. You would be hard pressed to find any other business that could survive the sort of gross arrogance and incompetence in the way it bills and collects from its customers.

If you assume that everyone--hospital administrators, doctors, and insurance companies alike--would genuinely want their bills to be correct and accurate, you are very very wrong.

This little book shows you through the experience of others, how you too can get your pocket picked, but even more important, it shows you how to protect yourself.

The author shows you how to: how to get a detailed itemized bill, how you can learn their language, how to recognize and reduce excessive charges, how to recognize and remove duplicate charges, how to recognize and reveal hidden charges, how to recognize and reject undocumented charges, how health insurance works today, how to fix some problems before they arise, how to recognize and reverse insurance denials,

Also included, are very helpful chapters on: helpful websites, and a directory of people who can help you get your money back.

The author is a leading consumer advocate for patients, and she gives you the knowledge that you need to fight back. The MEDICAL BILL SURVIVAL GUIDE will help you get back what's yours--and make sure you'll never have to spend an extra, unnecessary dime on the care you deserve, ever again.

BOOK
Negotiate Your Medical Bills: Can You Pay Less for Health Care?
Lynn M. Derrwaldt
$12.99

About this product:
I recently had a medical procedure wherein some of the providers were out of the insurance company's network. One of providers charged 3 times what my insurance company paid to them, the same that the insurance company would have paid 100% to an in-network provider. I am left to take care of the remainder of the bill.

I bought this book in the hope that it would help me to be able to negotiate with them for reduced fees. Basically this book shows the result of a simple survey that someone took in a small geographic area that shows some providers say they will negotiate and some say they won't. It provides absolutely no guidance on how to negotiate lower fees. This book was a waste of money for me.
