I'll add to my op, they monitored my fluid intake/output. Because they felt my output wasn't adequate, they ordered a ultrasound of my prostate. I told them there is nothing wrong with my plumbing, never had been. Ultrasound proved I was right so their next game was to give me a catheter - WHILE I WAS FULLY AWAKE. That was unbelievably painful and entirely unnecessary! That is a one way valve to be sure. Of course all of these tests and procedures were added to my bill. I should mention, I had recently lost my job due to the economy and had no insurance. They say don't hold grudges, but I can't let this one slide.
With it coded as a Covid diag they got up to iirc 20% ON TOP of the bill if you died. So heck yeah they're adding anything they can think of because in the end it may pay off 20% higher
