Health Beat: Q: How much does this cost? A; "That Depends."

Here is the assignment. Before any health procedure....yes even a dental procedure...just ask the simple question, "How much does this cost?" The answer will most likely be either "I do now know...in which case you simply respond "Find out.", or else the answer will be "That depends."

It depends on....who is paying the bill.

Click on the post to see the article in the Janesville Gazette today on the agreement between Mercy Health Systems and the State of Wisconsin that will grant the uninsured a discount from gross charges equal to the average discount from commercial insurance that Mercy allows.

Now we will see if this will be applied to all hospitals, dental clinics across the board. Stay tuned.
