Paying cash: what to do

  • Because appendicitis is an emergency, you cannot shop around. Ask the hospital for its self-pay discount and financial assistance afterward.
  • Ask for an itemized bill and compare it with the hospital's published cash prices.
  • Nonprofit hospitals must offer financial assistance; ask for the application.
