'Real Money': Hidden Money at Your Hospital

Mar 28, 2013 6:27pm

ABC News? Paula Faris reports:

Joyce Ann Huston of Las Vegas has been a musician her entire life and is one of the 26 percent of Americans who say that they or a family member have struggled to pay medical bills in the last year, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Want to learn how to slash those medical bills?

Join Michelle Katz in a live Twitter chat at 7 p.m. ET today. Check it out here:?@michellekatzmsn?#RealMoney or www.facebook.com/michellekatzmsn

Huston, known as ?Lady J,? was on stage Wednesday night and today, she?s paying for it.

Like millions of Americans, Huston has a chronic medical condition: She suffers from lupus.

She preps her body for days before performing, citing music as not just her only escape, but the only way she pays her bills.

Huston still owes $25,000 from her original diagnosis, and new bills from her ongoing care are mounting. With medical bills continuously contributing to her debt, she worries she could lose everything. Among those Americans who file for personal bankruptcy, 62 percent do so because of medical bills, according to one study in the American Journal of Medicine.

?I could end up losing my house,? Huston told ABC News.

abc saving money mi 130328 wblog Real Money: Hidden Money at Your Hospital

ABC News' Paula Faris talks to Joyce Ann Huston of Las Vegas about saving money on her medical bills.

But what Huston and many others don?t realize is that more than half of the nation?s hospitals ? the nonprofits ? are required to give back to the community, often through what is called ?Patient Assistance Programs.?

?No, I wasn?t aware of that, at all,? Huston told ABC News.

Non-profit hospitals are required to publicize their policies on assistance programs. The American Hospital Association told ABC News, ?Hospitals should widely publicize on the premises, on the website, and distribute directly to patients their policies on assistance programs.?

But in one study by Community Catalyst of 100 hospitals, nearly half didn?t mention it on their website and almost 70 percent didn?t tell patients how to qualify when they called.

With the help of a patient advocate at the Colors of Lupus Foundation in Nevada, Katz and Huston went after some of that money. Sure enough, Huston?s hospital had a fund.

It took several weeks of phone calls to cut through all the red tape.

?You have to understand if they announce it, everyone would be flooding, right?? said Hui-Lim Ang, founder of the Colors of Lupus Foundation in Nevada.

?It?s just a matter of negotiation,? Ang added, ?just knowing it?s out there and not being afraid to ask for it.?

In the end, Huston qualified for assistance. ?Her $25,000 bill was reduced to just $7,000, which she will pay in monthly, interest-free payments of $100.

?I?m just shocked you all were able to do that,? Huston said. ?I didn?t know how I was going to make it through. I didn?t know things like this were possible. I?m so touched, so deeply touched.?

And today, after saving $18,000 on her medical bills, Huston is singing a much different tune.

Tips that could save you money:

1.?????? Ask for a written financial assistance policy.? Hospitals should have a written financial assistance policy available that includes eligibility criteria, the basis for calculating charges and the method for applying for financial assistance.

2.?????? If you can, let your hospital know ahead of time.? Hospitals use a process to identify who may or may not be able to pay in advance of billing, in order to determine whether a patient?s care needs could be funded by an alternative source, such as a charity care fund. This is also done during the billing and collection process, but it is best to address any billing issues in a timely manner. Since 2000, hospitals of all types have provided more than $367 billion in uncompensated care to their patients, according to the AHA.

3.????? Keep communicating and be calm.? People make mistakes, so it?s important to stay in touch with your care providers, hospital representatives and insurance providers. Be sure you document everything. Be prepared for representatives who may disagree with something you said. But if you have documentation to back up your claim, remain calm and use it.

How to Freak Out, Appropriately, About the Internet War Apocalypse

There has been a wave of skepticism about the severity of this month's "biggest ever" denial-of-service attack ? that a fight between website hosts and spam fighters may or may not have sunk the DNS servers that run the entire Internet ? and, well, it's OK to be a little scared of the enormity of this thing. Just not that scared.?The New York Times's source compared the DDoS attacks to "nuclear bombs," while the BBC quoted the head of the spam company, Spamhaus, as claiming that their attacks would be strong enough to bring down a major government's Internet infrastructure "instantly."?Gizmodo and Venture Beat?both countered with no-big-deal posts, with Gizmodo's Sam Biddle going so far as to call the "Internet War Apocalypse" a "lie."?Not everyone agrees. So, if even the tech nerds are fighting over the fight that maybe slowed down the whole Internet, how should regular Internet users approach this thing? Like this:

RELATED: 'Non-Humans' Account for 51% of All Internet Traffic

Think Local, Not Global

The "nuclear bomb" analogy seems to have paint a picture that this DDoS attack leveled the entire web, and world-wide. That's not what happened. Parts of the Internet, however, did see some down time as a result of the attack. The Verge's Russell Brandom pointed to the following chart showing a dip at the London Internet Exchange, which is legally designated as "critical infrastructure":

Akamai's Real Time Global Web Monitor also showed congestion Wednesday in The Netherlands, where this whole fight originated, and in the U.K, per this chart:

RELATED: Group Sex Is a Great Way to Weed Out Snitches

A Sophos analyst also confirmed these European outages to ZDNet. And, according to Naked Security,?there were reports of 21.7 million?insecure/misconfigured DNS servers on the IPv4 yesterday. So, some people did see a slow down in their usage yesterday. Those people just don't live in America, where a lot of the scary media reports originated.

Be Scared in Theory, Not in Practice

That "biggest ever" 300gbps figure is a "massive amount of bandwidth to a single enterprise or service," as a spokesperson for NIT, a tier 1 Internet operator, told Biddle. And it is the biggest ever, which does mean something ? these hacks are getting more serious, as this Arbor Network chart of previous DDoS attacks shows:

But the DNS servers that run much of the Internet can handle something like that. Even the LINX dip from above managed okay, as The Verge's Brandom explains: "The web is built on redundancy, so the extra terabyte-per-second of bandwidth could be spread across the network without any catastrophic failures."

Still, there is a reason for a little bit of alarmism: "The wake-up call for telecoms is real," Brandom writes. "There's never been a DDoS attack against an internet exchange before, and exchanges aren't set up to protect against them." As we pointed out yesterday, there is also a reason these DDoS attacks are possible in the first place, and it comes in the form of a security hole, which has to do with Open DNS resolvers, as opposed to closed ones.?

Give in, Because There Is Nothing You Can Do

You might as well going on Internetting as usual, to be honest. For the hyper nervous users out there, though, this particular issue doesn't sound that hard to fix. CloudFare, the anti-DDoS firm Spamhaus enlisted to ward off the attack, suggests closing up these "openings." NakedSecurity's?Chester Wisniewski?reiterates this point: "If you are an administrator of DNS services, it is critical that you configure your recursive name servers to only reply to your own network." Of course, the specific type of "reflection" DDoS attack is just one of the many possible ways to take down the Internet. But the hyper-awareness for this "biggest ever" attack might encourage higher security standards in the future. Still: Relax.

Failte, Ireland ? the Most Beautiful Place on Earth!

National Geographic Photographers dubbed Southern Ireland?s Dingle Peninsula The Most Beautiful Place on Earth thanks to breathtaking views and pristine archeological sites. This unique area of Ireland has supported life for over 6,000 years, and the landscape is dotted with over 2,000 castles, strongholds and archaeological monuments.

Begin your morning with a horseback ride along pristine beaches, four wheeling through the hills or hiking ancient walking trails that lead you through greenest hills you?ve ever seen. Take a mid-morning tour of haunted sites with a special interest tour leader who will fill you in on local legends and lore while giving you a truly unique tour. Try your hand at archery or skeet shooting on castle grounds before ending your tour mid-afternoon.

Take a surfing or try kayaking lesson in the afternoon, charter a vessel for deep sea fishing fun or try dropping a line into one of the many rivers along the coast. Complete your day with Ireland?s finest cuisine accompanied by Irish brewed stouts or ales at a local pub, where you?re sure to have an unbelievable evening full of laughter, storytelling and music.

Anchorage (Alaska),?U.S.A.?- Flightseeing Tours

Alaska is the final frontier, and there is no better place to experience such a ruggedly beautiful terrain while still being within reach of the conveniences of the city. Anchorage is snuggled into the Chugach Mountain Range and receives 600 inches of snow every winter. One of the best ways to view majestic Chugach State Park without undertaking a mountain climbing adventure is to hop aboard a flightseeing tour.

During your tour of the Alaskan skies, you will travel over the Knik Glacier rim where you will view amazing hanging glaciers. Zip over the Colony Glacier at Lake George to view where it spills into the winding Knik Glacier Gorge. See moose, Dall sheep, and more while you fly over pristine lakes and surrounded by breath-taking snowcapped mountains before heading back to your hotel or private cabin.

South Africa ? Elephant Back Safaris

Follow the footsteps of the Ancients to a land of magnificent beauty and exotic wildlife.

Jeep safaris rarely stray from the road, but an elephant back safari takes you off the beaten track. Your tour begins in the saddle of Africa?s most beloved transportation: the elephant. Because their scent masks yours, other creatures feel safe. You?ll remain safe and protected while viewing Africa through the elephant?s eyes ? complete with lions, tigers, hippos, rhinos and more.

Be inspired when you meet preserve guardsmen with passion, sacrifice and dedication to animal welfare. Guards are community heroes: military tough, attuned to the environment, and uniquely qualified by skills learned only by native tribesmen as a rite of passage.

Return to civilization, where you are welcome to tour local markets brimming with handmade textiles, jewelry, art, instruments and traditional dress while you watch the natives sporadically break out in song and dance. This trip is hard to top!

Seattle (WA), U.S.A.?- Blake Island Boat Tour

The appreciation of stunning outdoor beauty combined with a peek into the world of ancient civilizations equates to an adventure tour you don?t want to miss. Seattle?s Puget Sound is home to Blake Island, a private island accessible only by private charter or boat. Hop on your cruise boat from downtown Seattle?s Pier 55, where you will cruise to Tillicum Village.

Tourists learn about the ways of ancient inhabitants while being greeted with a traditional meal of steamed clams in nectar and salmon prepared in Native style. Take in a show of the Coast Salish tribe?s storytelling and symbolism before wrapping up with a quick tour of the islands. Explore the island?s walking and hiking trails and 5 miles of pristine beaches before wrapping up your tour at the gift shop.

Cambodia ? Jungle Safari and Boat Tour

Many of Cambodia?s most precious sites were abandoned for unknown reasons. In time, they were forgotten, eventually lost to the jungle, where they lay untouched, slowly disintegrating. Political unrest discouraged archaeological work. Today, the political climate is comfortable, rediscovery efforts are supported, and there is much to see. While you?re sure to visit Cambodia?s temples and sites, there are adventures to be had in the jungle and sea!

Your adventure begins with breakfast aboard a converted Khmer tour boat. While traveling to Koh Ta Kiev, you?ll enjoy views of lush jungles and white sand beaches complemented by brilliantly blue water. Snorkel stunningly colorful coral reef and try your hand at fishing for squid and reef fish. You will dock on a secluded island before lunching on traditionally cooked fresh seafood at a Khmer floating fishing village. Be sure to explore the local markets for one-of-a-kind souvenirs.

Cruise north to a private cove, drop anchor and take a 30 minute guided jungle trek, where you will likely see jungle cats, exotic birds, monkeys, snakes and other native wildlife. Take a quick dip before leaving campers around 4pm, or speak with your tour guide about renting tent space for an overnight stay in the jungle. Your tour comes to a close with your boat ride back to the mainland whistle you enjoy a sunset drink.

Austin (TX), U.S.A. ? Lake Travis Zip Line Adventures

Austin is a great place to vacation when cold weather keeps beating you back indoors. Temperatures are warm year round, and the city offers constant musical entertainment, numerous fishing lakes, natural hot springs and more to enjoy at your leisure.

While leisure is great, if you?re looking for something a little more heart-poundingly adventurous, you?ve got to try the safe but thrilling 2 ? hour zip line tour of the famous canyons and inlets gracing Lake Travis. Fly down 5 different zip lines ranging in length from 250 feet to over 2800 feet. You?ll never experience views like these any other way! Professional tour guides teach you about the local area while assisting you through challenging hikes and nature walks.
