Description
We’re launching a brand new project and need your help! We’re zooming in on charges that are becoming more and more common on your medical bills: facility fees.  Facility fees are charges tacked onto your bill for visiting a doctor’s office or clinic related to a hospital or larger health care system… or even talking with a doctor who’s in one of those places on a telehealth visit.  If you’ve ever seen a charge for a facility fee on your medical bill, we want to hear from you.  ... and if you haven't, we'd love your help spreading the word! Consider sharing our posts on any of these networks: Instagram | TikTok | Facebook | Ex-Twtitter | LinkedIn We’ll be back with more new episodes in a few weeks.  In the meantime, send your stories and questions. Or call 724 ARM-N-LEG. And of course we’d love for you to support this show. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
