According to recent studies up to 40% of medical care is neither necessary nor appropriate. Since hospitals and fee for service based physicians have an incentive to do more in order to earn more, unless a third party is monitoring medical necessity or appropriateness, unfortunately the odds favor your exposure to unnecessary or inappropriate medical care. And, in some percentage of patient care occurrences, there is the painful if not tragic experience of outright medical malpractice.
Then there are those of us who do not have health insurance, according to recent estimates some 47 million Americans. If you are unrepresented by a third party price negotiator (HMO, PPO, or other health plan) to restrain or buffer the cost of retail medicine, you will be generally exposed and obligated to pay the full amount of a hospital's or physician's bill. Uninsured medical expenses are the primary cause of personal bankruptcies in the US today.
Should either or both of the above situations speak to you, we are here to help. Do consider calling or emailing us today for a complementary and no obligation consultation.
