Reply to comment by rbekins in A billing expert investigated her husband's ER bill. She was able to knock thousands off the charge. by [deleted]

I think the real key point is that the service in question truly never happened and was the wrong CPT code. Of course, her knowledge played a role.

Most of the posts here about "get the itemized bill" think that there's just going to be line after line of phantom services. $5000 drugs you never received. $50,000 MRIs when you never stepped foot in a scanner.

90% of the time (ok maybe less), the bill is accurate, just expensive.
