WSJ Your Money Briefing · Many Health Services Hang in Balance Amid ACA Legal Challenge · 30 Nov 2022 podcast

The individuals I spoke to in terms of the attorneys on the case were really saying it's just hard to know.

There's no way to know for sure.

So right now it's really a kind of a watch and waiting game.

Sure.

Thanks a lot.

WSJ Your Money Briefing · Surprise Medical Bills Are On Their Way Out · 14 Jul 2021 podcast

There have been a number of studies that have shown that people are seeing more medical debt because of the surprise bills that they can't pay.

So it can have both a big impact on consumers in terms of their bottom line, but also overall health care spending in the United States.

Thanks so much for having me.

Well, typically these surprise bills happen when, let's say you have a medical emergency and you are treated in the emergency room, but say the doctor who treats you happens to not be in your insurance network, you may get a really high bill that you were never expecting because you didn't realize that the doctor who treated you was not in your network.

That's typically how it happens.

And it can be a lab service that looks at your blood in an ER.

That could potentially be someone who is out of network.

Or let's say you have a colonoscopy and the anesthesiologist is not in network.

So it can happen in a lot of ways where people just aren't aware that they're being seen by someone who is out of their insurance network.

And so then they get this big bill.

It can be significant.

There have been a number of studies that have shown that people are seeing more medical debt because of the surprise bills that they can't pay.

There have been other studies that show that the out-of-network charges from a group of anesthesiologists, pathologists, assistant surgeons can increase spending overall by $40 billion annually.

That was a study that was done out of the Yale School of Public Health.

So it can have both a big impact on consumers in terms of their bottom line, but also overall health care spending in the United States.
