I was badly bitten by a dog. The ambulance took me to a trauma center that was out-of-network. The retail cost of my 6 hour stay was $11,800. This didn’t include the ER doctor and radiologist.
My insurance covered only $2800 of the $11,800 (what they considered reasonable). I have a $7900 deductible.
Since they were out-of-network, the hospital could have billed me for the entire amount (balance billing).

Happily they reduced the charge to $1000.00
