Hot take: it's not just the insurance company's fault. It's the medical provider who's largely at fault here. The insurance company would probably have had much easier time agreeing to pay $6000. $60000 is not a reasonable charge for lifesaving medical intervention, it's extortion, a cynical attempt to profit off the parent's fear for their child's life. Want to fix your country's medical care? Focus on ridiculous hospital charges first.

I’d say regulate both. Regulate all emergency transport companies so that they MUST be in network, but also regulate all insurance companies that the MUST cover expenses. All it would take is negotiating agreed upon contractual pricing. Focus should be on both areas.

it’s all connected. a lot of these prices are based on that insurance won’t pay for any of it til you fight and the ones who go bankrupt and can’t pay so the 60K pays for those too. it’s all connected. don’t let the insurance companies off the hook. they created this situation. so it’s their blame

The doctos do not set the rates the hospital admin and the instuance companies do. When we talk about healthcare, we need to make sure we are not confusing the doctors, nurses, lab techs, etc for those with HMO greed.

Do you think insurance companies and medical providers don’t collaborate on the way things are billed? The insurance companies have a vested interest in the goofy billing practices of hospitals. It justifies their fucking existence. You don’t have a hot take you have a stupid take

You have no idea what you are talking about. Life flight is regulated like airlines & they literally use air travel loop holes to charge insane rates. When you are in a life or death situation life flight is typically the best option. There needs to be federal regulations in place because air evac companies are out of control & unchecked!

I’m pretty sure it costs more than $6000 to airlift someone somewhere
