DOES ANYONE PAY THIS?

My wife started dialysis last July. At first it looked like my insurance was paying for all of it. Then I get a bill for $566 for a couple of weeks back in July. The insurance did pay thousands, but now they are billing me this amount.

My question is: DOES ANYONE PAY THIS? Does the dialysis provider (DaVita) really expect this, or are they just hoping that I will give them money?

When I look online at the insurance EOB it is complicated. DaVita bills the insurance $12,000 and the insurance pays $2,000. Mostly DaVita accepts this, but they do come up with some things that they say I am supposed to pay.

We do have savings, but at that rate even the “small” amounts could take all our money. Does anyone else just not pay “their amount”? Thanks.

    This is so sad.

    I live in Canada, it's free here, so I can't help.

    But I wish you all the best and I hope that you and your wife have a long, happy life together.

    talk to the insurance company...I;m sure they can clarify this for you! Good luck. I always set up a payment plan with them and end up paying around 25-50 /month.

    One thing is for sure, women are expensive. You think that is bad? Do not ever get on her bad side to make her want to divorce you or pay alimony. Hope you signed a prenup pre-marriage.
