The medical facility, the vendors, the drugs those are the major expenses, and that s where we have the most impact. Here s how to keep your hospital costs down from the get-go particularly important if you re footing the bill. Don t go in over the weekend . Have tests done before admission. Bring toiletries with you .
Nothing is free, and everything there comes at a premium price.
Keep a log of tests and drugs . Or have a trusted friend or relative maintain the log for you. Later, compare your log to your bill to make sure you aren t charged for services you didn t receive. Leave as soon as you can . It s an expensive place to rest.
