We all know that a stay in the hospital is expensive and many costs are out of your control. Remember what Groucho Marx said.  "A hospital bed is a parked taxi with the meter running."

However, there are things that you can do to save money:

  • Talk with your doctor about the fee.
  • Avoid unnecessary tests and procedures.
  • Keep a daily log.
  • Refuse to be seen by any doctor that you don't know.
  • If you have a managed care type of insurance, try to avoid doctors who are not in your network.
  • Avoid unnecessary procedures.
