I got billed about $6k for broken toes. I was at the hospital for maybe an hour or two total. They took a few x-rays and had me leave once verifying that my foot was not otherwise damaged. SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS.
I was repeatedly told that the hospital was working with my insurance, and that they were waiting on forms to complete the billing. I was told repeatedly that this was not my final bill, and that they were waiting on my insurance.
Then they sent the bill to pre-collections while still also telling me that my bill was being negotiated with insurance. Now the bill in non-negotiable and going to impact my credit unless I pay the amount in full.
Terrible communication and ridiculously priced. I wish I had never gone to the hospital in the first place. What a racket.
