Hi All,

I've had wrist pain for a few months and I suspected it was De Quervain's Tenosynovitis. Went to an ortho to get it diagnosed and get a cortisone shot to reduce inflammation. They did a few X-rays of my hand, looked at it to determine that there was no fracture and then gave me the cortisone shot. I was a new patient in this clinic and was maybe there for an hour total. My insurance was billed $2.5K total (see images). Almost $1K for X-rays and another $1.5K for the consultation and injection. I've had to pay ~$620 of that out-of-pocket. This seems a bit excessive so I wanted to check if this is normal or perhaps I got billed excessively and maybe I should dispute? Looking for any insight or guidance. Thanks!

Cortisone shot for De Quervain's Tenosynovitis. Insurance was billed $2.5K, out-of-pocket $620. Is this normal?
