Why Paying for Healthcare Isn’t Like Buying a Tin of Beans

Nobody should be yelled at, bullied or gaslit for asking questions about healthcare costs.In the previous episode, we talked about how patients can be protected by consumer law, but paying for healthcare is not really like buying a tin of beans.In this bonus episode of Regarding Me, Dr Margaret Faux shares two powerful examples, including her own experience, that show why medical billing is never just about money.It’s also about how vulnerable patients can be when they rely on professionals to do the right thing both clinically and financially.In the next part of my conversation with Margaret, we go deeper into what to do when something doesn’t look right.Subscribe so you don't miss it!You can find Margaret’s book 'How to Avoid the Medical Bill Rip Off!' and links to you connect with her in the episode blog on my website.Connect with Luan:Sign up for Luan's personal newsletterEmail LuanFollow Luan on InstagramConnect with Luan on LinkedInVisit Luan's websiteGuests share their personal experiences of healthcare.
