While visiting my brother (out of state) I had an attack of abdominal pain and visited the emergency room. The bill for $1136.50 went to my insurance company and the provider agreed to a discounted amount of $1022.85. This was part of my deductible (I have an MSA) so I paid $1022.85. Now the provider says that if the insurance company was paying they would accept the discounted amount, but because I am paying I have to pay the full amount. I don't understand why my money is not as good as the insurance company's.
It's only $113, but I have to admit the thing that irks me the most is that despite the $1100 of tests they didn't find anything. When I had another attack a month later I went to a local doctor who examined me for two minutes, said "gall bladder" and confirmed it with $300 worth of tests. Do I have to pay premium prices for a misdiagnosis?
