This problem is not going away. I haveto see my doctor.
I can’t get an appointment with a specialist for a month! I hope this problem’s not serious.
Now I’m really nervous. I haveto wait for the biopsy results.
I need surgery assoon as possible! What’s the besthospital? Whatare they goingto do to me?
The surgeon was very reassuring.I think this is going to be okay.
Here comes thebills. I don’tunderstandthe description.
That went well. Idon’t have to stayovernight.
I survived surgery.Let’s find out how much this is going to cost me.
Can’t tell you now, we’ll call you backin a few days.
Insurance didn’tcall me back. Ialready have one bill from the hospital that's due in 2 days. Ibetter pay it now.
The hospital charges $20,000 butthey are only allowed to charge$3,190. You will have to pay this amount. Along with othercharges this will take you over your $4,000 deductible.

Okay, I’ll just pay it with my FSA card.
This journey map traces a patient’s experience of a single healthcare event over a nine-month period. Most of the actors and institutions represented in the Ecosystem Diagram play a role in this Patient Experience.
The experience follows a common path through the US healthcare system: patient sees her Primary Care Provider (PCP) for a problem, PCP refers her to a Specialist, the Specialist orders diagnostic tests, the Patient is referred for surgery after a positive diagnosis, the diagnostic test is repeated by the Hospital, the Patient meets with the Surgeon, the pro-cedure is performed by a Hospital Team, and the Patient has a post-procedure exam with the Surgeon. There are no significant errors and no medical complications represented in this journey.
This healthcare experience triggers six di�erent billing streams involving claims and payments and bills between the Insurer, the Patient, PCP, Specialist Practice, Labs, Hospital system and a Third Party administering the Patient’s FSA/HRA accounts.
This journey map is provided as an example. There are a multitude of variations that a patient could experience in their medical billing journey and all of the possible variations are not represented here.
Patient Facing
Is it over now or are there more surprises? Should I expect another bill for that last visit?
