If you go to there ER, make sure you get admitted. Your insurance will cover that. But if you go in like I did with a severed thumb, one physician did the work, the on call doctor came in, took a look at it, told the attending physician to cauterize the thumb to stop the bleeding then left the room. Received my bill. Almost $300.00 went to the physician that looked at my hand, made the comment and walked out of the room. A total of 3 minutes. Then I received an EOB of $300.00 for the advise. Had I been admitted, there would have been no charge. What a terrible ripoff. They considered my visit an outpatient and Bronson stands by the bill, and says I must pay. Stub your toe, and ask to be admitted. It will be cheaper in the long run. When did an ER visit become an office visit?
