Bill drastically different than posted prices
These bills are through the clinic which are attached to the hospital.
I have gone to billing twice, and they said they looked into it but according to them, I was charged properly. Even though she said she had never seen blood workup cost so much.
My primary doctor referred me to a cancer specialist because she was worried about my white blood cell count, which keeps rising.
The specialist took samples, then told me they were inconclusive, so I had to retake them. During the first one, I had not met my deductible,but during the second one I had. So my responsibility is drastically different between the two bills. But the overall is the same.
However, when I look at a breakdown of the items, I think I was overcharged - or well, insurance was over charged.
According to the price files posted by the hospital, it should be a lot cheaper. Is the difference in price normal? Or should I contest it?
When looking into it, it looks like they might be coding it incorrectly. It was tested 25 times but instead of coding it individually 25 times it looks like they are using the nine times amount 25 times.
Am I seeing that correctly?
