There is a big difference between the total cost of the hospital reminder notice and the prepayment fee.

Hello, are you asking why there is a big difference between the total cost of the hospital’s reminder notice and the prepaid fee? The total cost of the hospital's reminder notice is very different from the prepaid fee for the following reasons:

1. Additional costs during the treatment process: During the treatment process, there will be some additional examinations, tests, surgical materials or Costs such as medications, etc., which may not have been estimated in advance. As a result, total costs will exceed initial expectations.

2. Adjustment of treatment plan: Sometimes, doctors need to adjust the treatment plan according to changes in the condition, which will lead to changes in costs. The new treatment plan may include more tests, medications or other items, so the total cost will differ from the prepaid fee.

3. Changes in medical service items: During the treatment process, sometimes it is necessary to add or change medical service items, such as adding surgical steps, changing specific treatment methods, etc. These changes will result in changes in fees, resulting in a difference between the total fee and the upfront fee.

4. Inaccurate estimation of prepayment fees: When handling prepayment fees, the hospital can only give a rough cost estimate based on the preliminary diagnosis and treatment plan. However, the actual cost of treatment will vary due to unforeseen factors, resulting in a large gap between the upfront fee and the final total cost.
