💰Paying Only a Fraction of My Hospital Bill

read time 2 minutes

Hi,

I reduced a hospital bill from $2,000 to $500. Here’s how.

In America, your physical health can cost you your financial health, but I have consistently saved hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, on every hospital bill by doing a few simple things. It all started with one disastrous night.

If you knew me back in college, you’d know I went through a pretty reckless phase. Sure, I was working multiple side hustles and figuring out my financial journey, but as college kids do, I was also partying quite hard.

One night, I drank so much that I completely blacked out, and my friends ended up calling an ambulance to get me. An ambulance that cost thousands of dollars for a broke college kid who couldn’t tell his parents why he needed an ambulance. After I regained consciousness, I was slapped with a $2,000 bill.

There are two lessons I learned from this:

1. Drinking alcohol is the worst thing you can do with your time, energy, and money. So quit. For good.
2. Always ask for a discount at the hospital.

Factually, 80% of medical bills contain mistakes. The next time you’re being discharged from a hospital, be sure to:

1. Check your bill. 
2. Verify the expenses are correct and that they aren’t overcharging you. 
3. Use fairhealthconsumer.org to check for true medical costs.
4. Save thousands when you almost halve your bill!

And to avoid going broke in emergencies like this, don’t forget to add to your emergency fund in your High-Yield Savings Account (which is currently at a 4.30% APY) today.
