I was there for 45 minutes. During that time I had two chest x-rays, and was given a cup of Maalox. Luckily the food went down on it's own, so no scoping or anything was needed.

I got the bill about a month later, that 45 minutes, two chest x-rays, and cup of Maalox cost me nearly $2k. My deductible is $2,500, so I had to write a check for the full amount.

What a complete rip off scam health care is in this country. Burn it down and start over.
Does your plan not have an ER copay?

A lot of these new “high deductible” health plans don’t have any copays which leaves people with a big surprise after a seemingly routine visit
