If anyone is interested, the arm and a leg podcast covers how people leverage transparency data and other strategies to fight hospital bills. Most recently it was covered that so few people take hospitals to small claims court over their billing practices that hospitals can afford exorbitant teams of lawyers to establish more case law that their behavior is legal.
There used to be, and I'm not in a position to find it, a forum that specialized in cash paying the least amount for all procedures, lab tests, imaging etc.
It truely was impressive how these forum members unearthed massive savings and really, once you knew what to do, didn't seem all that invasive or difficult.
We are writing more groups using Referenced Based Pricing. Good idea.
A win in small claims court doesn't create any case law.
