This video is for Stanford and their predatory practices. unhinged medical bill from Stanford healthcare for a 30min MRI Here I'm outside of their office. Because they consider this location a hospital. So they charged me $32,000 in hospital fees. This is their sign. It's called an imaging centre. Tell me where on the sign you see it say hospital. Hospital. Do I see hospital on that sign? No, I don't. So $32,000 in hospital fees. Mind you, I had an MRI. Done in the E.R. A month ago and paid a hundred dollars out of pocket. ~$100 After my insurance covers, I'm paying $1,336. That is insane. Insane. I'm lucky enough to be able to afford that, but to a family in this economy that has unplanned. They didn't plan for their visit, to be charged like a hospital. That's insane. This is insane. And then this is the best part. After I do my MRI, I go up to them, I'm like, oh, I would love, you know, a copy of the CD. So that I can take it where I need to go. And they go, oh, We don't do CDs here. Only the hospitals do CDs I'm sorry. Are you not a hospital now? Now you're not a hospital. So when you wanna bill me, you're a hospital, but when I need a service done, you're not a hospital. You can't. You can't give me a CD? Cause only the hospitals can do that. This is insane. This is predatory. How are you gonna go ahead and send me this kind of Bill and not tell me about it before I book the appointment? Not say, hey, we're actually gonna charge you $32,000 if you go to this imaging centre, cause we like to call it a hospital, even though it's not a hospital. This is. This is the healthcare of America.
