MBAA Releases Report on How to Spot Hidden Medical Bill Overcharges
Salem, VA (PRWEB) February 04, 2014 -- Most patients have no idea that eight out of every ten medical bills contain errors, fraudulent charges or both. MBAA’s free medical overcharges report shows you, the patient, specific ways you may be getting gouged on your medical bills and explains what can be done about those charges. This report is a "tell all" on ten different ways a hospital or medical provider will rip patients off.
MBAA’s free report shows patients how a hospital will add an extra day to the patient’s hospital bill and the patient will not notice it. It will also show you how hospitals hide double charges for X-rays and anesthesiology, charge patients for additional surgery that should be no cost, and list other bogus fees on the patients’ bills. This new report can lead to a savings of many thousands of dollars for patients who have unknowingly become a victim of medical billing fraud.
MBAA advises you the patient to fight back when you feel you have been a victim of hospital billing fraud or medical billing mistakes. By being equipped with MBAA’s free Medical Overcharges Report, it is estimated that 80% of patients can potentially discover overcharges on their medical bills and fight to have those charges removed.
