lol. And they want folks to have kids? I recall musk and a few others saying everyone needs to have more kids…. Well then who is paying the bill??
Whoop, mother died in childbirth. Thankfully we got the cash already!
We have always had to do that when using private healthcare (Ireland). Up front and non-refundable cost was around 700 euro iirc so not a wildly different amount and probably higher now. They always told us up front though. Being told while you're standing there is tremendous pressure to put someone under who may be struggling financially and faced with "I need to care for my baby".
Having said that our public system is fully free and very good. We have gone both public and private.
Phh wow y'all got a choice... You must have a good daddy in charge. American daddy hates women and children
prepaying in general in the healthcare field is bs. the eob needs to be run so that anything you pay is counted toward your maximum out of pocket. I find providers that want some sort of prepayment don't put any effort toward putting in or correcting a claim so that the costs count.
Damn, can't pay this month either. Sorry baby, you're staying in.
