Reply to comment by keepingitcivil in A billing expert investigated her husband's ER bill. She was able to knock thousands off the charge. by 11ej25

There's two problems:

  1. Insurance is paying most of the cost anyway so you're only saving the client a fraction of what you fight, so a fraction of that isn't going to be especially big compared to the effort you spend and
  2. Insurance plans have a max out of pocket so there's an upper bound on how much you can save any client. And if they hit the cap, you may have to fight thousands of dollars in charges before you can save your client a single penny.

Also, most people aren't getting charged for procedures that didn't happen.
