A few of our many users of the Prevent Consent have forwarded them to us. Here is a little collection. Most recent is Sunrise Hospital, HCA's largest. A patient (who wants her name used) got a bill for $27,000 for dehydration in Las Vegas causing a fall: The amount owed was her deductible, $6,234.53 As Marshall Allen's book title says: "Never pay the first bill." Quizzify sent one letter and magically the second bill fell to an even $3000, not itemized: They are hoping we go
