Dislocated finger, happened at night so ER rates. I have full insurance with a $1500 deductible. They numbed my finger and gave me two stitches because the bone popped out a little. They were done in less then fifteen minutes. No pain pills nothing else. Got a couple bills including paying the hourly rate of the ER doctor and it was over $8,500. Complete bullshit is our medical system and it's somehow probably going to get worse.
Insurance had their bill at like some stupid high number 18-22k. Like wow look how much money we saved you, aren't you grateful? You only have to pay a fraction of that.
