Great question.
So if you're receiving a bill from, you know, going back to your example a little bit ago from your hospital system that says, hey, you owe $800 in 30 days, pay it now or you're going to collections and you find some type of error, you can ask for what's called a billing hold.
So you can say, hey, look, I found some errors and discrepancies.
I'm working through this with my insurance company.
Please put a billing hold on.
The other thing that is not well-known and frankly underutilized is that a lot of these hospital systems have grant programs, patient assistance programs.
There's a lot of money that just goes to waste every year that isn't leveraged.
So definitely reach out to your healthcare system, your billing department and ask for what type of resources are available.
And then the other thing is for things like medications, right?
So
Medications, the migraine medications we were just talking about, those manufacturers likely have some type of patient assistance program that you can enroll in.
So if you've been denied care, approach the manufacturer of the medication that you've been prescribed.
Tell them that you're having problems with insurance.
You're appealing.
You're working through that.
And they will likely give you a free product while you work through that.
And those are called patient assistance programs and more specifically bridge programs that bridge you from the point of denial into commercial coverage.
Fun fact, you can appeal for Dupixent on Claimable for free.
That is a sponsored medication.
So 44 out of 50 states have some type of patient appeal rights and some states are better than others and some states don't have anything at all.
