<prompt> Human: Hi rpersonalfinance, I graduated from college last year and recently moved outcut contact from an abusive family. Working a 42K job with 27K in student loans, trying to make ends meet and be a newly functioning adult. About a month ago, I went to an in-network doctor to get a new prescription of birth control. Close to my work office and in my network? Super, Ill just go there. I go for the first appointment, get blood tests, heart rate, hearing, etc. things done and meet the doctor. She spends five minutes with me then sends me to an ultrasound for headneck, pelvis, abdominals, imagingradiology, among other things. I ask the person administering why Im taking this, he says he has no idea because Im so young for this sort of thing, but oh well, the doctor knows best. This takes a long time and she tells me to come back for another visit, which is when theyll do the required pelvic exam to actually clear me for a birth control prescription. I see the light of finally getting my renewed prescription and schedule another appointment. I go in for the second appointment. She promises me well do the pelvic exam today, but first...some more tests. I get an allergy test and ultrasound for the heart. By the time I was finished, I find out the doctor had already left the office an hour ago. I am fuming and leave the office. I go to planned parenthood and get my prescription filled in less than an hour. A couple weeks later I see the bills on my online healthcare page. I.am.in.shock. Bills on bills of You may owe: ___ that total over 2,500. I got charged for things like a thyroid hormone t4 test, thyroid hormone t3 test, thyroid hormone test. Multiple charges of the same thing but different costs for each. For example: Artery Blood Flow Test 102.24 and Artery Blood Flow Test 159.12. I got charged for Laboratory and Medicalprofessional services multiple times. Like what? I owe 515 for an allergy test, a freaking allergy test. I feel cheated, helpless, and scared. I was excited to finally get away from my family and start my life and now this. I have no idea what to do or where to start. Any advice would be greatly, greatly appreciated.TLDR; Went to doctor for birth control prescription, got sent to obscure tests instead. Get hit with massive bill with multiple charges of tests I went through, tests I didnt know I went through, and repeated charges totaling over 2500. What do?? Assistant: That doctor sounds shady. Seems like she is trying to milk you and your insurance for money with unnecessary tests.Human: This is exactly how I felt! But the unnecessary tests have already happened, and now Im trying to figure out how to weed out any billing mistakes, double charges, etc. or get advice on talking with my insurance company or the doctors billing office. Assistant: Are you sure this is a bill for you to pay and not just a breakdown of what your insurance is paying for? You can call your insurance and ask them to explain Human: The 2500 is from the Amount You May Owe section from the Explanation of Benefits. Im going to call them tomorrow when their call center is open for further explanation.  <response>: Wait for the bill... you just described the EoB.
