If you spend days in the hospital as an inpatient. You may be one of them.
If you were an inpatient at any time and were required to make a co-payment for every day spent in the hospital. You may be one of them.
THE LAST BILLABLE DAY YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IS THE DAY PRECEEDING THE DAY OF DISCHARGE. Yet many hospitals are charging for the day of discharge.
This can amount to HUNDREDS of MILLIONS dollars, of illegal charges made every year .
I am not looking to change any laws. It is already the law. You can stop this practice by signing this petition which is directed to CMS the Governmental agency responsible for overseeing this practice.
MARCH, 2014 is the DEADLINE for GETTING CMS TO TAKE ACTION.
Why is this important?
I want to prevent illegal overcharging.
