A tax-exempt hospital punished one of my sisters for asking for a fair price. A new study shows what we actually get for nonprofit hospitals’ tax breaks.
They actually agreed to $25k and the surgery is scheduled- at the request of the surgeon. So as much as I’d love to, the patient care not being disrupted is more important than naming and shaming!
When I was a director of managed care for a health system a national religious organization approached me requesting a favorable contract for their clergy and staff. I gladly negotiated a very reasonable deal, and I was happy to do it. But my view was not shared by everyone. I am appalled that in your situation the price was doubled. If it weren't for wanting that surgeon I would say that I hope your client never does business with them again.
I humbly recommend identifying the hospital immediately. It sure looks like it has lost any privilege to confidentiality.
