One family's experience with a surprise $881 bill for a flu test highlights the need for a healthcare transparency website where New Mexicans will be able to find the price of common medical procedures in advance.

Think New Mexico is working with the NM Department of Health to get the first phase of this website online by the end of the year! ... See MoreSee Less

Family receives $881 medical bill for flu swab

kob.com

It was supposed to be a simple doctor’s visit; in and out, without too much hassle and too much strain on the wallet.

Dyl HolmShouldn't the fight primarily be for reducing/eliminating inane medical costs in the first place? The tragedy of this story isn't that they weren't told in advance, but that they had to pay almost $1k for a very basic procedure.

Pedro MaloOn a clinical level, this doesn't really make much sense. A quick swab test generally leads to a confirmation which influences treatment. But not really for flu, where there are few RX treatments and all are affordable. Unless the patient was admitted, intubated, or with a rouge URI. BUT, that doesn't make sense either as the Quick Swab tests do not allow for subtyping. If there is not healthcare reason for the test; healthcare plans can refuse reimbursement. Curious story I just read it. The clinic is at fault. Tricore is a sub contractor. The provider should have explained costs and subsequent healthcare actions

Marissa NordstromThis was a billing error on the part of the patient's insurance carrier. They did not have to pay the erroneous amount.
