Ripped off at walk in ER

[u/Forward-Worker-9029]

Went in after I got rear ended to get checked out. They saw me right away (they were empty) and did an xray. Doc came in and said “well nothing is broken so you can go”. Very dismissive as a side note. Prescribed ibuprofen and sent me walking. The whole ordeal was maybe 45 min with alot of alone time. BILL $24,100. Of course this was all run through my State Farm insurance of which I was told I had 10k in PIP. They paid the er the full 10k and now I’m on the hook for the rest of my mri’s and Chiro treatment that was supposed to be covered. Is this normal????? 24k for a 45 min stupid visit?? What do I do.

Had the same thing happen to me. Got rear ended and went to a walk in. I gave them the other persons insurance & had a CT scan. Bill came out to 30k. I called them about it and they stated it should go to the insurance. I told them the other persons insurance was denying fault/refusing to pay due to driver not being listed & it would probably get no where. and all of a sudden, they dropped the bill to about $500.
