I work as a financial counselor for a non-profit hospital. (In a rural area) Let's see:

Infusion treatments-45k for an hour 4x per year for life saving medication for people with MS.

Inpatient stays

Ambulance trips-$1100 to bring a patient less than 1 block away. Patient was in a LTC facility.

Basically everything is rising. Our system is such a mess and I am doing my best to assist those who cannot afford their bills or even their ridiculous deductibles.

Also, MFA. Can we make this happen?

Edit: Changed 85k to 45k per treatment. I was adding two infusions together. Less ridiculous, but not really.

Of course. As long as I stay anonymous. :)

Don't forget OON costs. ACA in my state offered a low cost plan from BCBS. BCBS focus I believe, they contracted with a particular facility and now the only hospital within 1+ hrs is OON except for ED services. Completely shady in my opinion.
