A family member recently received minor surgery at a hospital. After the procedure was complete, she received a bill for surgeon's assistant, who didn't accept the family member's insurance (the surgeon did). This was a man she never met before entering the operating room, had no idea would be in the operating room, and never saw again.
- joezydeco 15y agoEvery surgical procedure I've had or seen so far, including my wife's two baby deliveries, has been performed in a hospital or outpatient surgical facility where the anesthesiologists are independent contractors. You have no idea who will be there and no idea if they will take your insurance. But their bill will be the first one that shows up in your mailbox, guaranteed.
