<prompt> Human: I was surprised when I got a bill in the mail five months after two routine visits for 43.75. I had gotten blood work done with tests due to chronic fatigue, and I figured the lab my blood was sent to may have been out of network. I also thought it may have been for copays, but I always pay those in person before my visit. What I found strange was that the bill was not itemized, so I had no idea what I was actually billed for. It just said I owed 43.75 for services I had received over two days.I went down to my doctors office to ask for an itemized copy, and to provide proof that I had paid my copays; it turns out that my doctor is a specialist, and an additional copay of 20.00 is automatically added to each visit by the billing department. Since I had gone twice, I had an extra 40.00 tacked on that shouldnt have been there. I hadnt gone to him for his specialty, and the office immediately took off the additional 40.00, leaving me with a charge of 3.75 that my insurance did not cover for the services I did receive. I know medical bills can be a lot bigger than mine, but always double check and follow up; especially when it comes to gigantic ones due to emergencies or chronic illness. Get itemized copies of everything. Had I just paid this without following up, I would wasted 40; while it wont make or break me each month, it is a very helpful chunk of change!Tl;dr: always follow up on non-itemized bills; you may save money unexpectedly.  <response>: Though i appreciate the money saving tip, did you have to use most buzzfeed title possible?Though it may technically be correct, it would be more honest to say that you saved 40.
