It's so ridiculous. I had Kaiser for a period, because I was under the impression the bundle of insurer and healthcare provider would avoid these issues. It worked that way for a bit, but then I got some X-Rays. Paid up front, and then a few months later got an additional bill.

It gets worse, bundling those two is the epitome of conflict of interests when you find yourself the victim of the hospital's negligence and expect your insurer to act in your best interest.

Nope!

Interesting. Kaiser paid for a 4 hour ambulance ride for me from one hospital to another for immediate surgery. I think I remember paying like $100.
