Think your paying too much for a Hospital Stay, Emergency Room Visit, or even a Doctor Visit?
Did you know that you might have paid $985.00 for a pair of scissors and Not Even Known?
Or paid $11.59 for a box of tissues (Mucous Recovery Systems); $15.00 for a plastic bag of ice (Thermal Therapy); $23.00 for Alcohol Swabs; $18.00 for carrying someone carrying a vial of blood to the lab (Collection Handling Fee). Sounds CRAZY right???

Good news, all the above items are non-billable supplies or services. These items are just a handful of the giant pool of non-billable supplies/services.

Then you have the Double Billing charges, Wrong Drug Quanities, Outpatient charges on Inpatient billings, Operating Room Procedure..........
