Medical Bill Helper
Boston, MA --Medical Bill Helper, a leader in medical bill negotiation, is pleased to announce the launch of a new direct to consumer web site. Consumers can log on to www.medicalbillhelper.com and securely submit unpaid medical bills for negotiation. Medical Bill Helper’s experienced, professional negotiators work cooperatively with doctors’ offices, hospitals and clinics to obtain substantial discounts for consumers. Medical Bill Helper is so confident that the Company is offering its service for free unless it can obtain a 10% discount for the consumer.
Patients who go ‘out of network’ to obtain care learn the hard way that medical bills for identical services can vary wildly. For instance, a study conducted by CareCore National in 2009 found that for an MRI of the brain, prices charged by providers varied by 325% (from a low of $1,000 to a high of $4,250) and a CT of the abdomen varied by 950% (from a low of $300 to a high of $3,125). Similar variations are found across nearly all procedures and specialties.
“The lack of transparency in heath care, combined with the push by many providers to maximize their revenue on the backs of ‘out of network’ patients and the uninsured has created a cost crisis in America,” said Rick Lifsitz, President and CEO of Medical Bill Helper. “Unfortunately, even with health care reform, this problem is only going to grow larger as businesses and insurers scale back benefits and shift more of the cost to consumers and employees,” he continued.
In response, Medical Bill Helper has created a Web site to offer consumers the same negotiation services that large insurers and self-insured corporations use. “Our goal is to level the playing field for consumers, by working with physician offices, hospitals and clinics to reduce medical bills to more affordable levels,” said Mr. Lifsitz.
Medical Bill Helper negotiators have years of experience. Many have worked in doctors’ billing offices or in the billing departments of large insurers. They know the fair price for each medical service and situation. They also understand that obtaining a discount from a provider requires a strong fact base and a seasoned, professional approach.
Medical Bill Helper is so confident in the quality of its negotiators that it is offering consumers a no-risk service. Medical Bill Helper is free to consumers if we can’t reduce their bill by at least 10%. Further, unlike other services, there are no upfront fees or credit card charges. Instead, customers pay only a percentage of the savings Medical Bill Helper’s agents achieve, and only after the negotiation has succeeded.
“Medical Bill Helper is the great equalizer for consumers with health care bills. It’s simply not fair that consumers already facing difficult health care issues need to worry about how they are going to pay inflated bills,” remarked Mr. Lifsitz.
