I got two random bills after my endoscopy/colonoscopy procedures, Help!!
After my colonoscopy/endoscopy procedures, I got two bills, I had already pre-paid an amount before the procedures because they told me that would be the total. Now, I got a random anesthesia bill and a bill from the hospital. The bill from the hospital is for charges for the use of a plastic irrigation bottle (36.75) and the use of metal snaremaster to remove polyps (109.20). I added the bills down below. In addition I was told that the colonoscopy procedure was going to be free, but now I have to pay for anesthesia and the snaremaster used to remove my polyps. Now, for the second bill, I got it from an anesthesia group, and that one is $378.45 and apparently my insurance covered some of it. Is there any way that I can reduce these costs? I was under the impression that it would basically be only the pre-paid amount, the lady at the hospital supposedly even gave me a discount of $200. Also more info, I finished paying my deductible amount when I paid the pre-paid amount and was told that everything after that would be 70%/20%. I can disclose my insurance if needed.
