Caren Blanzy, a patient in Grand Rapids, Michigan, saw a significant increase in the cost of her regular injections for a neurological disorder when her health system changed how they billed for the treatment. The change meant she owed more than $1,100 for one treatment, leading her to stop receiving the injections due to affordability. In an InvestigateTV and KFF Health News report, Caresse Jackman delves into how health systems are charging hospital prices for doctor’s office care, despite the care provided remaining the same for the patient. The story also includes insights from Elisabeth Rosenthal, a senior contributing editor at KFF Health News.
