The bill was like $20k and another $500 or so on a separate charge for that doctor telling me that. I had to fight with my insurance company because they didn't understand that the "doctor visit" was from the same hospital visit. They refused to pay at first because the doctor wasn't in network. Like I had a choice of what doctor walked into my hospital room or something.

I'm reading that this is a common scam for hospitals. They'll have doctors they contract and they all get to bill you, you don't know who is or isn't in your network.

No other service intentionally conceals the price and uses scams to squeeze money out of you when you're most vulnerable
