Colonoscopy anesthesia bill

[u/Enough-Active-5096]

Husband got a pre-approved colonoscopy a few weeks ago and this was the bill from the anesthesiologist? Thank god the insurance is covering/paying but wtf? Did they add an extra zero on accident? This makes me so angry.

We used to bill around $800 (for Anesthesiaologist only in hospital setting) and get less than $100 from governemnt payers.

I honestly don’t understand how hospitals and providers can manage with Medicare. I grateful to be on it, and it’s not ‘free’ by any means. But I look at the payments and don’t get it.
