Never pay the first bill : and other ways to fight the health care system and win / by Allen, Marshall(Journalist),author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 235-251) and index.Fighting back -- The five hidden reasons you should fight back -- Never pay the first bill -- The insurance warrior's guide to winning your appeal -- How to handle medical debt collectors -- Sue them in small claim courts -- Avoiding the need to fight -- How to avoid treatment you don't need -- Protect yourself from price gouging -- You might save money by not using your insurance -- Employer section -- The conflict of interest undermining employers' purchase of health benefits -- They buyer sets the price -- Check your receipts. You might be a victim of fraud."From award-winning ProPublica reporter Marshall Allen, a primer for anyone who wants to fight the predatory health care system--and win. Every year, millions of Americans are overcharged and underserved while the health care industry makes record profits. We know something is wrong, but the layers of bureaucracy designed to discourage complaints make pushing back seem impossible. At least, this is what the health care power players want you to think. Never Pay the First Bill is the guerilla guide to health care the American people and employers need. Drawing on 15 years of investigating the health care industry, reporter Marshall Allen shows how companies and individuals have managed to force medical providers to play fair, and shows how you can, too. He reveals the industry's pressure points and how companies and individuals have fought overbilling, price gouging, insurance denials, and more to get the care they deserve. Laying out a practical plan for protecting yourself against the system's predator practices, Allen offers the inspiration you need and tried-and-true strategies such as: Analyze and contest your medical bills, so you don't pay more than you should; obtain the billing codes for a procedure in advance; write in an appropriate treatment clause before signing financial documents; get your way by suing in small claims court. Few politicians and CEOs have been willing to stand up to the medical industry. It is up to the American people to equip ourselves to fight back for the sake of our families--and everyone else"--

The Nell dialogues : conversations in mortal time / by McQuellon, Richard P.,1949-interviewer,editor.(CARDINAL)497840;
Includes bibliographical references and index (pages [219]-227).Introduction: The prospect of mortality -- February 16, 2005 : seeking witness -- March 23, 2005 : getting finished -- April 5, 2005 : living in mortal time -- April 12, 2005 : letting go and mastering fear -- April 19, 2005 : leaving gifts -- April 27, 2005 : holding on -- May 3, 2005 : an epiphany -- May 17, 2005 : acceptance -- May 24, 2005 : finding home -- May 30, 2005 : far from home -- June 7, 2005 : grief and sadness -- June 14, 2005 : facing, accepting and yielding -- June 21, 2005 : departure -- Afterword: Therapist reflections.Nell M. came to her therapist with an unusual problem. She was disappointed that her metastatic breast cancer was not progressing as predicted. She had hoped breast cancer would lead to death, preventing her from witnessing her spouse's mental deterioration from Alzheimer's disease. This is how Nell's story began. As Nell became increasingly aware of her death on the near horizon, the therapy sessions with the author were recorded and transcribed. The Nell Dialogues: Conversation in Mortal Time consists of twelve of Nell's illness narratives that explore the challenges of managing the physical and emotional demands of cancer, relationship issues with family and health care professionals, and disturbing, anxiety provoking thoughts as well as the mourning that accompanies the end of life. These dialogues trace Nell's acceptance of, and struggle with, the practical obstacles to achieving a good death. They also offer a window on the world of patients and their caregivers facing a life-threatening illness together. A commentary by the author accompanies each dialogue, giving the reader insights on the therapist's thinking during the counselling sessions and offering context and lessons learned from them. Nell's vibrant voice is a beacon throughout the narratives, sometimes sad, yet always hopeful for a good death. Her ability to navigate the difficult territory of mortal time and dying informs the reader about how death might be approached with grace and dignity--Publisher's description.
