Talk Down Hospital Bills
"Never take your bill at face value. If the charges don't make sense, call and ask for an itemization.

And don't feel bad about negotiating: I once got a 40 percent discount on a procedure by offering to pay the same day."
—Retired hospital-billing worker, 26 years in the business
