basic

I received a bill for $1,200 from my ER visit. This seems really high. Can you explain the charges?

我收到急诊的1,200美元账单。好像太贵了。能解释一下收费吗?

💡 美国医疗费用全球最高。收到账单后可以要求详细的费用明细(itemized bill),这是你的权利。

Of course. Let me pull up your account. The $1,200 includes a facility fee of $800, physician fee of $250, and lab work of $150.

当然。我查一下您的账户。1,200美元包括设施费800美元、医生费250美元和化验费150美元。

You

I thought my insurance would cover most of this. Why is my portion so high?

我以为保险能覆盖大部分。为什么我的部分这么高?

Your insurance covered $2,800 of the total bill. The $1,200 is your share after applying your deductible and coinsurance rate.

您的保险覆盖了总账单中的2,800美元。1,200美元是扣除免赔额和按共保比例计算后您的份额。

I cannot afford to pay $1,200 all at once. Do you offer payment plans?

我没办法一次付1,200美元。你们有分期付款吗?

Yes, we offer interest-free payment plans. We can split it into six monthly payments of $200. Would you like me to set that up?

是的,我们提供无息分期付款。可以分成六期,每月200美元。需要我帮您设置吗?

I think there is an error on my bill. I am being charged for a procedure I never had — it says MRI but I only had an X-ray.

我觉得账单有错。我被收了一个我没有做的项目——写的是MRI但我只做了X光。

I apologize for the error. Let me review the medical records. You are right — it should be an X-ray, not an MRI. I will correct that and issue a revised bill.

很抱歉出现错误。让我查看一下医疗记录。您是对的——应该是X光,不是MRI。我会更正并发一份修改后的账单。

You

How much will the corrected bill be?

The X-ray is $350 compared to the MRI charge of $2,500. Your corrected balance after insurance will be approximately $120 instead of $800.

X光是350美元,而MRI的收费是2,500美元。保险报销后您的更正余额大约是120美元,而不是800美元。

That is a big difference. How do I make sure this does not happen again?
