Amy4a2381 11 Posted August 13, 2015 I paid for my surgery in full before having it. Facility 10,400. Surgeon 3,500. Well I have been receiving bills in the mail. One for pathology that was not included. Well then I receive one for $600 from hospital. Then one for 5,000 for anesthesia(included). Well I contact the hospital and they tell me I got a zero balance with them and they are going to contact the anesthesia place because that was included. So I am waiting for that. Well I just checked my mail and opened a bill for 59,000. WTF I am freaking out. Has this happened to anyone. It shows my 10,400 paid. It doesn't even have services just inpatient. I did not have any complications and only spent 1 night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted August 13, 2015 Well for perspective. My surgery cost 38K and insurance paid 11K, that was their negotiated rate. What you did was similar. If the hospital says you have a zero balance then you have a zero balance. Their billing system has to catch up. They aren't really equipped for self pay at most places.

AvaFern 3,516 Posted August 13, 2015 I think you're probably fine. I was also self-pay and I got a few bills after surgery. I had to pay one for like $100, but the others my surgeon's office just fixed. Sometimes there are wires crossed and the hospital will correct the problem.
