What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
I visited an ER with a bleeding eye. I was attended to by a nurse who filled out my bio graphic info, took my temp and pricked my finger for an machine glucose test. I was told to wait in the general waiting room to be called. After an hour I was told to take a seat in an examination room. Up until 4 hours later, a physician had not visited the room to examine me and I went to the nurse's station and informed them that I would seek attention at an optometrist.
I later received a bill from the hospital for $400. My insurance paid $200. Is this charge excessive given that I was never seen by a physician? If so what recourse do I have?
