God I hate insurance companies. I’ve had 3 surgeries in the last year (gallbladder and two knee replacements). After the gallbladder I got a phone call at work from the hospital telling me I owed them $17,000. I did not. A phone call to insurance sent me to their “member liaison” department who said “well we pay at Medicaid rates and usually the hospitals don’t ask for more but if they do we negotiate with them. You don’t owe anything. You have to do all these things so we can do that.
