Negotiating Health Care Costs

Despite their views, worries, and experiences with health care costs, consumers report having few cost-containment strategies at their disposal. Few respondents (11%) report trying to negotiate prices with their health care providers, though more uninsured than the insured say they have done this (24% vs. 8%). Nineteen percent of adults report having a doctor resubmit a rejected insurance claim, 9% have used the Internet to find lower prices on prescription drugs, and 7% have switched doctors to reduce out-of-pocket expenses.
