ER bills are always shockingly expensive. If you don't think your condition is life-threatening, it's normally both faster and much cheaper to go to an urgent care clinic if one is open.
However, for potentially very serious problems (possible heart attack, stroke, serious injuries, etc.) you have no choice - you need to go to the ER and deal with the bill afterwards.
- kickopotomus 7y ago> 4 year old to the ER because he had a 103 fever I think most parents would react similarly. Then to turn around and bill $756 is predatory.
- alexhutcheson 7y agoYeah didn’t mean to criticize anyone’s behavior, just offering a tip for people in that situation in the future. A child with a high fever is probably going to get seen faster at urgent care, since the ER staff would triage them behind serious injuries, heart issues, etc.
