Saw this happen at McKay-Dee sometimes. So frustrating.

Health insurance is the worst and has no rhyme or reason

I’m pretty happy I had it. $150k in chemo and nothing out of pocket.

How should this be my problem? It wasn’t an emergency, it was a planned appt.

Specialty practices are typically partnerships created between the physicians.

That’s a garbage practice. If I go to U of U healthcare for service, they should bill me. The hospital should negotiate

I’d understand more in an emergency situation. This was a planned appt days in advance.

I think it's even less excusable in an emergency situation. When someone goes in
