View submission: Hackensack Meridian Health is adamant about jacking up their hospital prices even higher and will no longer be covered under Horizon insurance plans

View parent comment

I'd agree but for them to publicly call them out is telling. Meridian will defend itself publicly if this is a lie. Chances are they won't do that so you'll know they were trying to gouge. Or they'll use language to defend it by blaming a pharmacuetical company or something else (inflation, raises they claimed they gave etc).

If you're been to their hospitals over the years, you probably got an email about this with their stance. Basically the same message, just from the other point of view. Insurance companies do this to hospitals over and over, so it's just their copy and paste version while they play chicken with our healthcare.

The same shit happened last year when horizon was negotiating with advocare. Horizon sent letters saying they were trying to be reasonable, advocare sent a letter saying horizon was trying to cut reimbursements, and they worked out an agreement a week before the deal expired.
