<prompt> Human: There was no actual reason she needed to be in the ER and then actual admittance as an in-patient. The short 15 minute procedure she needed done is a walk-in, walk-out thing. It turned from a visit to see an orthopedist specialist into a Im going to admit you to the ER now. He was being extremely pre-cautious but our wallet cant handle his amateur decisions lower-middle class family with one income. He even admitted afterwards that it wasnt necessary as all she did was lay in a bed all day waiting for him to come by at night to discharge her. It was already frustrating as we didnt understand what was going on and I kept trying to figure out exactly why she needed to be there as it was not that severe. Can I challenge the bill with the insurance company when we receive it? It is going to be a hefty sum we can barely afford.  <response>: It turned out there was no need for the ER visit and admittance, but doctors dont know that in advance. It was not an amateur but a professional decision. This turned out to be a false alarm but sometimes it is not. In this case, you will be on the hook for charges based on your insurance coverage.
