The Faces of Surprise Medical Billing

Good look in on how out health system drives us… to places we did not want to go.

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

Again, those who live in countries with universal health care can chuckle. Others can simply cry.

What is a surprise bill?

Health insurance in the US has migrated toward a “health maintenance organization” system. Doctors and laboratories who are in network agree to the fees allowed by the insurer, and are paid by the insurer. Doctors and labs that aren’t in network don’t accept the insurance fees, and aren’t paid by the insurer. Bills for those services go to the consumer.

Most consumers know to check the in-network status when making an appointment with a new doctor — or I help them by consulting insurer directories before they sign up for insurance.

How then can surprises happen?

  1. The doctor orders lab work and uses a lab with which he has a relationship, but the lab it out-of-network with the insurer. Doctors don’t know and often won’t check, so the patient…

Getting ready for Historic US 40 Yard Sale

Roadtirement

One of our typical setups

This has been a rainy day in Central Indiana. We are back in Indiana getting ready for one of the big antique shows we try to do every year. Of course, we didn’t get to go last year. Though the Highway 40 is really a very big yard sale, we do very good selling our vintage items and bigger items that we have found in our travels.

It becomes a big clean out the garage month for us. We set up at the Dunreith Baptist Church east of Greenfield, Indiana. It is such a great place for us to set up. The pastor and his wife are very nice and helpful. They let us park the RV right behind our display, which is so nice because we don’t have to travel every night.

Highway 40, also known as Old National Highway, is a historic road…
