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

Yeah that does seem kind of odd. I was under the impression that all the physicians that worked at the U were

Was it at primary children's?

Good point. Primary children's is IHC

Owned by IHC but staffed by the U (is my understanding)

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

Exactly. I’ll never understand why you get multiple bills for one visit.

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

File an appeal. Aetna is a scam artist.
