I went to the ER over a year ago with back spasms. They had to give me a shot, pain meds and muscle relaxers. No x-rays etc... My bill was over $1300.00. On my EOB there are two separate charges for the emergency room, each over 500.00 each. It appeared to be duplicate charges coded 2 separate times. When I called to question it, they said they were only able to see one charge and could not see the two individual charges that I see on my EOB and said it was correct. I asked to be on a payment plan and not to be turned over to collections and they agreed. I started receiving letters from a collection agency so when I called they said the collection agency is in house. I am paid in full, but still cannot believe the high price for this trip to the ER. $1300.00 for a shot, and a pill. I will never return to this hospital. I have spoke with friends and family members who stated their bill are always wrong, Stay away.
