Cinergy Health Update

Most of us simply assume we have to pay up front for our medical expenses, and we don’t even read the bill over very well.  We assume that the doctor or hospital calculated things correctly and that he has the final word.

You need to learn to be more savvy than this, however, if you’re going to be able to afford your medical bills and make sure they are calculated correctly.  Dr. Margaret Lewin, the medical director at Cinergy Health explains that “Nothing in the fine print should prevent you from trying to negotiate your bill with your doctor or hospital. And always point out any errors on your bill to your provider and insurer.”

Almost every doctor and hospital can create a payment plan for you.  It’s your right to take charge of your expenses and your bills and to make sure they are calculated correctly and that you are able to pay them out slowly.
