I believe that I am being overcharged for services at a hospital (like 100$ for aspirin). What to do?

At a hospital you aren't just paying for the asprin tablet it's self you are paying for the pharmacy tech to dispense the asprin. The pharmacist to check and make sure the asprin won't cause problems with your other medications. And then you're paying for the nurse to bring you the asprin.

$100 is about right when you look at it that way. My suggestion is stay healthy and stay out of hospitals. About the only way you can contest a charge on a hospital bill is to make sure you actually recieve every service or item listed on your bill. If you see a charge for an asprin and you didn't get any asprin then that's something you can dispute.

Your medical chart should have a doctor or nurse's note ordering the asprin and then another note stating the date and time it was given to you.

When hospitals bill for medications, a dispensing fee is included. Your state may also permit other fees, such as stock fees, etc. Also, the total fee for one particular medication will vary depending on the quantity you received.

Contact your state's Department of Health and inquire whether there are any laws regarding medication fees. You can also contact your state's Consumer Protection office and file a complaint, which will be investigated.

You can ask for a Itemized bill from your Hospital. And then with this list. Contact your Insurance carrier to see if they will rebuke or Honor the costs of the medicine, Or take this list and review it with the Hospital's Billing Department... Then ask them if they can justify such charges, or possibly ask for the generic form of the medicine... Good Luck ! Hospitals are required to treat everyone regardless of Insurance or lack thereof. The people who can pay ( insurance claimants ) are to put it mildly are stuck with the overages the others don't pay

Its really awful. When my mother was in the hospital some years ago, I went line by line through her bill. There were some things on there that ONLY MEN USE, so I know my mother didn't. Plus, I was with her 24 out of every 48 hours (spent every other day with her, my sister took the other day). Anyway, here's what I was told "Yes there are charges that should not be on the bill, but there are many charges we found that should be on the bill and would more than offset the difference." Better luck to you than we had.

Call the billing office, and ask them to rework your bill for the cash price.
