Christine Ressy, a 49-year-old hairdresser in New York City, was supposed to have surgery for kidney stones on July 29, but her situation took an unexpected turn. Without insurance, she faced a significant bill: $10,933. Her doctor told her that unless she paid half of this amount before the procedure, the operation couldn’t take place.
Ressy had hoped to negotiate costs or receive a cash-pay discount. However, without an itemized receipt after the surgery, she was unsure if payment would be accepted. With the advice of ChatGPT, she prepared a $500 cash deposit. The deadline for Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas Awards is approaching, with the early-rate deadline on November 14.
