It may sound unusual, but more patients are negotiating with their doctor to receive a discount.
Some doctors won't even talk about discounts. However, a Harris poll found that of those consumers who asked for a discount on a medical bill, almost half of them say they succeeded.
The key is to offer to pay the discounted fee immediately -- rather than pay the doctor over a period of time.
If you're not up to it, ask a friend or family member to negotiate for you.
Note: Medicaid and Medicare prohibit any such negotiations.
