That's why US government want everyone of you to have a medical insurance because medical and drug expenses is unaffordable in this country. I really think I will go back to Far East for serious medical treatment in the future.作者: dyldm 時間: 2011-1-23 04:36 PM

It's absolutely the truth. Believe it, and make very sure you have travel insurance when traveling to US. I had a minor allergy when I was there, went to the hospital (after hour), got and invoice for nearly US$1,800, and that was over 10 years ago. Fortunately the insurance covers everything. So don't get caught.作者: viper168 時間: 2011-2-7 01:37 PM
It's true, but of course, the list above are average, some Asian Dr. will charge lot less if pay by cash. Dr. seems make a lot of $$$, but their insurance is not cheap either. Also consider most of the payment method is either government assistant or health insurance. First one need to wait for long time and 2nd one pay very little, it's not like you request $1000 then you get $1000, most cases you get $200 or so. But I still suggest travel insurance, because US medical bill is very scary, that's why people at age like 80 still working at walmart, because at 80, there is no government health insurance available if you are middle class or above, you need to work because of the employer provide health insurance.作者: chriskyk 時間: 2011-2-18 05:54 PM

这个正常啊~如果你是居民的话,而且还买了医保,那么就是免费的~
可以全家人的医保也要几百(我说的是在政府里面工作的)如果在外面买的话,医保是很贵的~
但是,如果你是低收入家庭~医疗室免费的~连药也是免费的~前提你是低收入家庭的行列,还有有证明作者: cff99 時間: 2011-2-26 11:36 AM

If you live near city with Chinese, then you may want to ask friends for relative and see if there is any Chinese that take cash with much lower price. I know a Dr. who has an office in Monterey Park and he only charge $50 for visit, then get your medicine from costco, sams club or walmart because they usually has much better price in prescription medicine. In fact, a lot of Dr. welcome cash client because it's headache to deal with medicare, medical and HMO, can you believe Dr. only get $20 from HMO when you visit him or her? But they have to take it because almost everyone is using insurance, they can't avoid it. BTW, $20 is not net profit, Dr. liability insurance is huge, equipment, nurse, office rental, etc are extra and out of their pocket. I'm not a Dr. (I wish i am), but I have some friends are RM and Dr. always complain to them.作者: jeffchan928 時間: 2011-4-11 08:29 AM

US health cost is always a topic for political discussion.作者: czj333 時間: 2012-3-12 09:12 AM
The insurance company is the very reason why the prices are so ridiculous. When people get the insurance covers all their medical expenses, they won't think twice before visiting a doctor, pushing up the demand beyond the normal circumstances. While the medical association limits the number of doctors via exams, and the high costs of malpractice insurance, all these factors jack up the prices. Co-pay came to existence only in the later years, but it's already too late.
So, next time you visit a doctor, pay attention to what they are charging you, even though you have insurance. Sometimes they put on some funny expenses, knowing that you wouldn't care. But in the long run, your insurance premium will go up as well.作者: hhli 時間: 2012-5-1 01:42 PM
One piece of cotton used in OT cost 50 cents, one glove cost 5 dollars, one teeth took out, 1500 is ok lah!!!!!!作者: ninisdealnews 時間: 2012-5-6 10:18 AM
US health care system sure is not cheap but one will sure say US has the best health care quality in the world. You get what you paid for. Part of the reason is that to maintain this high standard, doctors and physicians can't afford to have big errors or there will be so much law suits involved that will drive up the cost more. So you either go to a country where you will risk your quality of care or you pay up for the insurance to have good care. Your choice.作者: s152a 時間: 2012-5-17 01:27 AM

I had similar experience. I paid $1200 for a 30 minute root canal procedure. When my dentist told me that it'll cost me $3000 to have a crown down, I decided that I need insurance. I did and got the crown for $900. But, I had to wait 30 days.作者: omin81 時間: 2012-5-21 02:09 AM

所以在美國你一定要有保險。有一種保險每次看病只需20美元的費用,(以包括藥品)。是你還每搞清楚吧。
