DUI Victim Medical Bills Can Mount (Part B)
If you have been injured in a Massachusetts DUI accident, you are very likely going to be hit with some shockingly high medical bills.
Medical Bill Sticker Shock
According to USA Today, hospital costs are soaring out of control and not getting better. The article shares, “Hospital sticker shock is hitting the USA.”
Further along in the article, the news report highlights where hospital billing discrepancies can hurt anyone who doesn’t really review their bill:
The article tells the story of Karen Hamers’ hospital trial: “When Karen Hamers’ teenage daughter Michele needed knee surgery, Hamers called several hospitals near her home in Vero Beach, Fla., and asked how much the surgery would cost. At the time, her family did not have health insurance. After choosing a hospital, Hamers paid the surgeon and then also paid the hospital what it said the surgery would cost: $4,200. ‘Six days after surgery, we receive a letter from the hospital asking for an additional $21,000.”
All the news stories of high medical costs does not bode well for drunk driving accident victims while they try to recover from their injuries. Additionally, at a time when they are not at their best physically, and probably mentally, they will need to be diligently monitoring and tracking their health care and reviewing medical bills.
