An Arm and a Leg

Coming soon: your stories on facility fees


Listen Later

For months now, you’ve been sharing stories with us about facility fees, those sneaky fees that keep showing up on your medical bills. 


Facility fees are kind of like a cover charge for visiting a health care facility, usually one owned by a hospital. And many of you have been blindsided by them. 


Some of you have been going to the same place for years, only to one day get a brand new charge, seemingly out of nowhere. Many of you only found out about a facility fee after the fact, while some of you managed to avoid one by going somewhere else. Pretty much all of you were vexed, confused, and wanted answers. 


Next week, we’ll start unpacking these stories, starting with one that’s particularly epic. 


Stay tuned!

And of course we’d love for you to support this show.
