Were you overcharged for health care services?

If you think you were overcharged for health care services, you should contact MYINSNET.com, an insurance negotiating service that offers consumers assistance in negotiating medical claims.   This company states they have saved insurance companies millions of dollars and an average savings per claim is about 25%.  The same techniques and resources they’ve used to save insurance companies money are now available for individual consumers.  Any patient with a medical bill greater than $200 is eligible to send their bill to INSNET for negotiation.  Consumers can use services such as INSNET to determine if the amount they paid for health care services is reasonable.  If the charges are deemed excessive, INSNET will attempt to negotiate directly with the provider and INSNET charges a fee based on the amount saved on the patient balance.  There is not risk for consumers because they charge no fee if there is no savings.   When you visit the MyInsnet, be sure to indicate you heard about their service on OutofPocket.com and they will offer you an additional savings.
