I was told by someone who works for a Insurance Company that you can negotiate with a Hospital or Physician for treatment. They said to have the Hospital or Doctor code the procedure or procedures then to look up what that treatment costs when the Hospital or Physician charges Medicare. You can then negotiate with the Hospital or Doctor to pay whatever they bill Medicare for or for an amount close to it. A procedure that might cost you $14,000 may only be $4,000 when billed to Medicare for example. The problem is I have looked for these coded Medicare payment costs and can't find them anywhere. I was told the coded Medicare payment amounts are public record so they should be available somewhere but I still can't find them. Does anybody know where these coded Medicare costs are online or otherwise?
