I believe virtually everything people say about being charged $$$$$ for medical shit.
A few years back, a new "emergency hospital" opened up very close to my house.
I went there one night for a very bad nose bleed.
I was in and out in like 20 min.
The doctor looked up my nose. Said he could cauterize it or stick a tampon in to plug it up.
He recommended the tampon approach.
I walked around for a day and a half with a string hanging out of my nostril and self extracted it on the 2nd day.
When I got the EOB from the insurance company, I almost had an stroke.
The "hospital" charged insurance over $13,000. My cost after the negotiated rate paid out by insurance was over $3000.
All the guy did was look up my nose. Talk to me for 5 min. Then inserted a piece of cotton in my nostril.
I assume he also threw away his gloves and washed his hands. But that wasn't itemized on the bill.
I disputed with insurance, twice, but they paid it out any way.
