The discount given to cash paying patients needs to be "within reasonable proximity" for what you bill insurance. The other thing is that your bill has to reflect the full fee, minus the discount plus the payment made.Originally posted by ERCougar View Post

THen we should ween everyone off of crappy low deductible medical plans over a 5-year time horizon. Oh wait, I forgot that most Americans can't save money and are already up to their eyes in consumer debt. Giving them an extra $400 a month that should be saved in a HSA will most likely end up in a newer car or bigger TV.Originally posted by Indy Coug View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

While I agree, the key is "not penalized for having major health problems they can't control would work very well". The problem is that high deductible plans, in my experience, make no provision for this. For instance, I have a child who was diagnosed with Type 1 (juvenile) diabetes at age 3. My employer changed to a high deductible plan and my health car costs went up by several thousand - the cost of the high deductible. If one has a chronic illness or disease, high deductible plans are not a good fit. Otherwise, they seem to work well. Just wanted to offer an opposing view since my family hits it's high deductible first quarter of the year just due to my diabetic child. And there's seldom other health care costs for the spouse and other three children.Originally posted by Eddie Jones View Post“Not the victory but the action. Not the goal but the game.
