Charged Twice for Hospital Visit?
I went to the hospital on 2/25.. my heart was racing, lightheaded, fell a couple times like half passing out (I am now diagnosed with type 2 diabetes). I wish I didn't as I am now realizing I didn't need it and preventative care is much cheaper. ANYWAY, I have NJ BCBS Omnia 1 and this was at an Atlantic Health hospital.. I have the following claims on my insurance exluding the ambulance bill ($200 after insurance):
Electrocardiogram Report , Billed $40, I owe $6.06 (finalized/paid) Emergency Dept Visit, Billed $1109, I owe $433.50 (finalized/unpaid) X-Ray Exam Chest 1 View , Billed $86 (pending claim/unpaid) Billed $14,438.20 (pending claim/unpaid) Nfct Ds 22 Trgt Sars-Cov-2 $579.00 X-Ray Exam Chest 1 View $1,294.00 Emergency Dept Visit $9,310.00 Electrocardiogram Tracing $1,242.00 Glycosylated Hemoglobin Test $438.00 Assay Of Troponin Quant $237.00 Procalcitonin (Pct) $623.00 Comprehen Metabolic Panel $364.00 Routine Venipuncture $15.00
I stopped paying them as they came in once I saw the last one. Can someone tell me wtf is going on? The 3 biggest items on the huge bill were billed twice, with the separate ones being at much cheaper rates. Just including the first 3 and the ambulance, this will already be around $750 dollars for a ride to the hospital and 2 hours inside with a 'good' insurance plan. Is the double billing a genuine error? Can someone give me any sort of hope that I won't have to pay anything/that much on the 4th claim? Thanks for all your help.
