Front page of the Bee today. Sutter settles billing lawsuit. Overcharging for anesthesia. Does this surprise anyone else. The billing system has always bothered me. It is my belief that over billing has been abused for a long time and even more when you have good insurance. I seen one of my hospital bills that was not correct submitted by UCD. When I called to alert Blue Shield of the over billing I was told she seen no problem it was in the acceptable range and would just be paid. It was obvious she didnt want to look into it. They paid for more x rays then I actually had. Jokes are made about how much it. Costs for a pain pill while in the hospital. It is the reason why we have skyrocketing costs for Medical because there is no accountability and one of the many reasons why companies are paying more for insurance coverage It isnt just the Medical its Dental to. I had a cap put on a tooth the bill was 1200$ dollars. My cost was 200$ not covered by insurance. I had the option to pay with cash it would have been 800$ for cash price. When I asked why then am I being charged 200$ out of pocket. I was told how I was getting a good deal having insurance because it was only costing me 200$. Duh you stupid bimbo You were charging 400$ more because I had insurance. I never went to that dentist again. Sorry Dan Hopper you aint ripping me off again
