>> $100 in the ER? Where, for what?
It is $100 for just the co-pay. Depending on your state, there are the balance bills, mystery bills, lab bills, xray bills, random radiologist bills from affiliated practices, and a host of other things that come in the mail ~6wks later.
Yes, that was exactly my point.
Worst thing, the ER doctors, and radiologists in many cases as you noted, seem to always be subcontracted to some other agency which bills separately from the main hospital.

Been in ER in the UK, Aus and NZ. Never paid a cent. And that's included overnight stays, drugs, ICU, 2 weeks ward stay, cardioversions and more. Yay for free healthcare.
My recent ER visits have all resulted in $1K-$2K or more (don’t remember exact numbers). A stupid sling costs about $100 in the ER. All due to deductible, Co-insurance and other provisions.
Also $350 for surgery?
You must have a really nice plan.
