Hey y’all,
This is specifically for people in the US healthcare system.
If you are getting a test or procedure done, ask them what the cost is without insurance. It may end up being significantly cheaper.
I had to go get a basic metabolic panel blood test today and they were going to charge me $350. When I asked what the cost was without insurance, it was $100. Mind you, I have good insurance. It’s around $1500 a month.
This has happened multiple other times with different people that I know. Just asking could save you a significant amount of money.
You pay 1500 a month for health insurance??
W-T-F

Why do you even care about the money?
I’m under my mom’s insurance and her work pays for it out of her paycheck. It also includes dental. I’ve got two other siblings under the same plan. Money is tight.
Family plans are significantly more expensive than individual ones as I recall, sadly. And then folks wonder why nobodies having kids…
