It’s no secret that hospital charges are skyrocketing. What’s worse is that these charges are disproportionate to actual hospital costs and that patients are often on the hook for outrageous medical bills that can result in extraordinary collection actions (ECAs) against them.
Vitori Health is committed to helping brokers, employers, and plan members understand and challenge this unfortunate dynamic. Please watch our 30-minute on-demand webinar with prominent healthcare and ERISA attorney, Doug Aldeen.
Doug shares timely and actionable insights to avoid overpaying and help you:

- Eliminate patient and plan costs for eligible patients using hospital Patient Financial Assistance Programs (FAPs)

- Navigate the changing reimbursement landscape
Watch now and learn how you can make a difference by protecting members and employer health plans from egregious hospital charges.
