There in lies the problem. Doctors will use different codes to charge whatever they want. I went to the emergency room because I hurt my finger. The doctor that saw me was in the room for less than 2 minutes, and they billed $1605.00. Are you F*%#ing kidding me ??? I thought it was a mistake. When I called the insurance company, they said it was perfectly legal for them to classify it as a surgery. WHAT??? What planet am I on? Unbelievable. This is exactly why we are in the mess we are in. Anytime there is an opportunity to take advantage of the system, only a few can walk away honestly. The system needs to be changed.
