Hi All, heres my situation
i recently had to terminate a pregnancy because of ill health
procedure cost about 450 out of pocket, iwent to the gyn that day for the termination with the intension to pay cash but asked if they take my insurance. i was told yes
i received a bill in the mail from my insurance co with 2 checks one for $7,000 and another for $700.00 which i am suppose to give to the DR office but on the statement from my health insurance company it states a balance of 14,000 dollars i owe to the dr office
theres a whole list of labs etc etc
i went in for a routine procedure and came out in 2 hours
i almost peeded on my self when i got the statement
the DR charged about 20,000 dollars total on one bill
the insurance pays 80% and i am suppose to be responsible4 for 20%

if i had payed the cash i would have owed nothing but they seem to have known that and lied to me
