My response:

Did you read, and understand, your EOB (Explanation of Benefits) when it came to you in the mail from your insurance company?

Probably not.

You have 30 days to answer, or otherwise respond to, the Complaint.

Hop to it.

If the anesthesiologist doesn't participate with your insurance, you're probably going to have to pay it. Not that uncommon.
