My wife had to have hernia surgery, after spending the night in a hospital room in pain, prior to "emergency" surgery. We just received the bill. The grand total billed to our insurance company was almost $77,000! Of course, we can't tell which of the items are totally bogus. Even if I knew some were bogus, the insurance company would likely not care, since years ago, after another hospital visit, I found a bunch of bogus charges, and when I called the insurance company, they didn't care. It's all one big scam! I don't know how much we are going to owe because the summary sent by the insurance company indicated they are still reviewing the submitted charges from the hospital.
