COVID survivor receives $840,000 statement for treatment, with more on the way

By: Jason GruenauerPosted at 4:48 PM, May 29, 2020

新冠康復者收到84萬美元治療帳單,不過這還不是全部費用

and last upxed 7:55 AM, May 31, 2020

CENTENNIAL, Colo. — Robert Dennis spent weeks in the hospital, fighting and beating the coronavirus. He’s now back at home, working his way through recovery, but he’s not done with the virus entirely just yet. The high school teacher just received his first itemized statement for the cost of his care: $840,386.94.

科羅拉多州—羅伯特·丹尼斯(Robert Dennis)在醫院裡度過了數周時間與新冠病毒作鬥爭。目前他已經出院回家,正在努力恢復,但是他還沒有完全擺脫病毒困擾。這位高中教師剛剛收到了他的第一份醫療費用帳單:840 386.94美元。

The statement covers Robert’s time at Sky Ridge Medical Center, where he was in the intensive care unit and intubated for two weeks.

帳單包括羅伯特在Sky Ridge醫療中心住院期間,他在重症監護室接受的兩周插管治療費用。

「His meds just at the hospital are a quarter million dollars,」 Suzanne said.

蘇珊娜說:「她丈夫在醫院的藥費就有25萬美元。」

「It’s scary. I don’t care how much you have covered. It’s scary to see that kind of number and not really know,」 Suzanne said.

「太可怕了。我不知道保險能報銷多少。看到這些數字真是不敢讓人相信,太可怕了。」蘇珊娜說道。

The couple has insurance. They plan on calling to make sure that they are covered early next week.

這對夫婦買過保險。他們打算在下周早些時候向參保公司進行聯繫,以確認他們能否可以報銷。

The Colorado Division of Insurance tells Denver7 that if their department regulates the insurance, that patient will be protected by a state emergency regulation. Also, if the hospital that treated a patient received CARES Act funding, they are not required to send surprise bills for COVID-19 treatment.

科羅拉多州的保險部門告訴丹佛7電視臺,如果他們部門監管保險,那名病人將受到州緊急條例的保護。另外,如果治療病人的醫院有《冠狀病毒援助、救濟、經濟保障法案》(簡稱cares法案)的資金資助,那麼醫院就不該向病人寄出資料新冠病毒的帳單。

On March 10th, Vice President Mike Pence told reporters, 「All of our major health insurance companies have now joined with Medicare and Medicaid and agreed to waive all copays, cover the cost of all treatment for those who contract the coronavirus, they』ve committed to no surprise billing, and they』ve committed to encourage telemedicine.」

3月10日,美國副總統彭斯告訴記者,"現在我們所有大型健康保險公司都已經和醫療治療以及醫療補助聯合起來,同意免除所有雜費,以及所有感染新冠病毒患者的治療費用,他們承諾不會寄出令人驚異的帳單,並承諾鼓勵遠程醫療。"

「I would have probably sat down and cried yesterday if didn’t know we had insurance and that was pretty good, but if you don’t have that comfort of knowing something is there, I don’t know how you make that ok with yourself,」 Suzanne said.

羅伯特的妻子蘇珊說道,"如果不知道我們有保險的話,我昨天可能會坐下來大哭一場。」 「有保險雖好,但萬一我沒有相應的保障,那我真的不知道該怎麼寬慰自己。"

It’s incredibly sketchy how whenever you ask how much your medical treatment will cost, whether at your internist or in the hospital, they always shrug and say 「we』ll see when they bill you.」 And this is WITH insurance. It’s always a mystery grab bag until you get the bill.

無論何時,無論面對誰,你的內科醫生還是醫院,每當問起你的醫療費有多少時,他們總是含糊其辭,一問,他們就聳聳肩說:「到時候看寄給你的帳單就知道了。」這還是有了保險的。在你拿到帳單之前,它總是一個神秘的數字。

Isle of Kal@IsleofKalMay 31

Exactly. There is nothing we buy without knowing the price first, except healthcare, in this country. Car final price is known before purchase. House final price is known before purchase. I want the middle man insurance companies out of our healthcare.

完全正確。在這個國家,除了醫療保健,所有東西都可以是明碼標價。汽車的最後提車價在購買前就可以知道。房子的最終購買價在買之前也可以知道。我希望讓中介保險公司遠離我們的醫保。

A lot of the comments suggest that with insurance this bill is no problem. Insurance cos exist to make money.They pass on costs like this to all of us.Exorbitant medical & insurance costs, with insurance lixed to jobs, is one reason American wages bave been stagnant for decades.

很多評論認為,有了保險,帳單的問題就好解決。可保險的存在是為了賺錢。他們把這上成本轉嫁給我們所有人。過高的醫療和保險費,以及其他與工作有關的保險,是美國工資幾十年來停滯不前的原因之一。

Healthcare is a human right. This would be the first obvious step to changing US society and preventing systemic abuse. People are afraid to get ill, unable to take full maternity leave and held hostage by their employers.

把醫保是一項人權。這會成為改變美國社會、防止系統性濫用的第一步。人們害怕生病,不敢去休產假,牢牢地被公司禁錮住。
