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.
