Did You Know About 'Facility Fees'?

Just found out you can get hit with a 'facility fee'—even for a quick clinic visit or a telehealth call! My friend's kid had a 15-min checkup, and the bill included a $423 'outpatient hospital services' charge just because the clinic is hospital-affiliated. No extra care, just a sneaky fee. Turns out, hospitals can tack these on at clinics they own, and you might not even notice unless you read the fine print. Wild, right? There’s a push to ban this in Minnesota—about time! #HealthcareCosts #FacilityFee #MedicalBills #Minnesota #HealthCareReform #Health
