  11. Alright, this is absolutely first world problems, but holy mother of healthcare, am I furious.

    So, I saw a doctor in the #Baylor system (who have purchased most medical practices in the area), a few weeks ago. I paid the doctor at the time of the visit. ($165 after insurance). I knew there was a facility fee, but refused to pay it, because it's egregious.

    I got an email this morning from Baylor saying I owed another $300 for facility fees. (I was waiting for the bill, so I could talk to someone about it.)

    So I called and said "Hey, this charge is unreasonable, and well outside usual and customary fees."

    And their response, as Bob is my witless was, "Our fees are defensible." Which means they had lawyers sitting up figuring out to the last penny what they think they can get away with.

    Those lawyers never met me.

    If you can, please donate something to author Piper J. Drake's GFM for medical expenses. If you are in the U.S., you know how ruinous this is. If you are not, please read the post. Either way, give what you can--no amount is too small--and share the link.

    Remember: tip ZERO--GFM charges fees from the donations, you don't need to give them more money at the expense of people already struggling to raise enough money to pay their bills.

  26. Y'all. I have been digging into this whole #facilityfee #HospitalFee thing that doctors offices are now charging.

    Apparently it's become common practice across all #medical specialties, and here, the Texas Hospital Association, a lobbying firm paid for by Hospital Corporations, has spent millions and millions of dollars making sure we keep paying it. Every state has their own lobbying firm.

    The lobby argues that without outpatient fees, hospitals would close, despite somehow being able to operate *before* private equity got involved.

    Let's look at #Baylor Scott White. A theoretically non-profit org. They have over 20 executives being paid millions a year in salary and bonus. They have ex-executives they're still paying a million+ a year.

    I'm saying I'm pretty sure they could remove facility fees from outpatient offices and make the budget work by trimming some executive fat.

  31. First world problems: I finally got an appointment with a pain specialist who writes prescriptions instead of suggesting massage for autoimmune arthritis. Hooray! He practices out of a major medical complex that includes a hospital. I just got an email telling me that I was going to owe a $325 Hospital Fee. This is not the doctor's fee, this isn't for any testing, this is a fee for parking in the same area as a hospital.

    What. And I do not say this lightly; The Actual FUCK?
