Not only do you have to check the medical bills, but you have to check the insurance reimbursement. In 20 years of billing insurance companies for my patients, the number of claims paid correctly was probably 60%, meaning at least 40% of claims had errors. Consumers lose a ton of money by not understanding their health insurance or by not wanting to hassle with the bureaucracy and just letting it go…great article with good information…

I have known Cindy for over 20 years. My husband has had three heart attacks, heart bypass and 7 stents, etc. I promise you I would not have been able to deal with all the hospital and associated bills if it were not for Cindy. She will not let incompetence and “mistakes” slide by her. I could say she is like a pit bull but I prefer to refer to Cindy as my angel.

Cindy helped me as well. She is excellent. I could not believe how much the hospital tried to intimidate me when they performed an unnecessary procedure and then billed me thousands of dollars that my insurance company would not cover. Cindy came to the rescue and reduced my bill to nothing. I actually received a refund check back from the hospital. Go, Cindy!!!!!

What a great story. Cindy is truly a professional in this line of business. It goes without saying the successes she has encountered are based on her hard work, determination and compassion for those patients/ members in a bad situation. Glad to know there are people that really care…like Cindy.
