Similar experience where I went to an ER and like six people interacted with me for less than 1-2 minutes apiece plus scans and an unneeded IV which came with a generous offer of Opioid pain meds when I specifically said, multiple times, I wasn't in pain. I got like seven different bills, each for randomint(0,1000). Worse, after wasting a day there - all they could do is just refer me to a specialist. The bills didn't even really explain what they were for, they just kept coming for almost a year after - apparently one for every person who may have looked in my direction plus each scan or test.
So I switched to Kaiser which is slightly better from the billing side but feels pretty mediocre care-wise. I don't hear back from the GP about questions/tests ordered and I've waited literally all night just to get something for a bad cough.
Healthcare in America is truly and thoroughly fucked.
