Transparency in Medical Billing Part One: The Back Story

We NEED transparency in our medical billing practices! We have a complex, convoluted mess right now.

Hear my story of how my son's clubfoot boots are billed at about $1600 from the DME company, but when I go to the manufacturer website I can buy direct at $250. How did we get to over a 500% mark up?! The DME companies response, "contracts and coding."

Where else do you go that you don't know the price up front?

Where else to do you purchase services and get a dozen bills over the next 3 months from half a dozen different companies?

It's absolutely ridiculous and it's high time we do something about it.
