We kept getting a bill every month for anesthesia for a procedure my husband had. And during the entire procedure, he was wide awake, not even a local was given. No way we were going to pay $400 for something that was absolutely not administered. At first, they balked because a pro anesthesiologist was there during the procedure, but we appealed pointing out that he wasn't supposed to be because everyone knew ahead of time that the procedure required no anesthesia, so someone miscommunicated or mis-scheduled him, but we're not going to pay for their error. We finally won when we got our health insurance company and lawyer involved, but man, it was tough even knowing we were totally in the right. I can’t stress the “check your bills” advice enough.
