This episode will help you spot medical billing red flags before they cost you.
In Part 2 of my chat with Dr Margaret Faux, one of Australia’s leading experts on Medicare and medical billing law, we get practical. Margaret shares simple things patients can do to question fees, quotes and item numbers, and explains why so many women’s real out-of-pocket costs do not match the official data.
You’ll also hear the simple sentence that could save you money if you need regular healthcare.
We also talk about the hidden charges, vague wording, referral confusion and surprise bills that can leave women paying more than they expected at some of the most vulnerable moments in healthcare.
If you’ve ever felt unsure about a quote, a bill, or whether something was charged properly, this episode will help you understand what to look for and what to ask next.
You can find Margaret’s book 'How to Avoid the Medical Bill Rip Off!' and links to you connect with her in the episode blog on my website.
