Dunno if that's strictly true. A story. Emergency room visit for moi (super high BP plus PVC that appeared out of nowhere). They hook up an EKG machine, wait an hour, tell me to see my doctor. Since it was a heart thing, I got bumped to the head of the line but forget to fork over my insurance card. Bill #1 $10k from hospital $2.5k from ER physician Bill #2 $4k if I pay it right away in cash Bill #3 $500 (deductible cost) once the insurance people are brought into the picture.
