Member Needs Help With Hospital Bill​

Situation

Member required treatment at major trauma center with severe injuries​

Total medical bills amounted to $195,000​

Member’s insurance only covered $70,000 patient was left with a bill of $125,000​

Savings

Emry helped a member apply for hospital financial assistance. Initially, they were denied because their income, derived solely from Social Security and minimal savings, exceeded the federal poverty level. Upon reviewing the denial, we discovered that the hospital had changed its criteria. We contacted the hospital and successfully secured an 80% reduction, reducing the member’s liability to $25,000. The member was then placed on a manageable payment plan.

Hospital Financial Assistance: Employee Cost Avoidance

After a hospital stay, an employee with a MEC plan and no hospital coverage received an unaffordable bill for $77,000. Using Emry’s financial assistance technology, the employee qualified for and obtained hospital financial aid, which covered 100% of the bill. This intervention saved the employee from substantial medical debt, totaling $77,000 in savings.
