<prompt> Human: I had a pretty deep laceration to my index finger while at home. I bandaged the laceration and put a zip tie above the cut so I could temporarily stop the bleeding. This was a quick fix so I could continue doing some work related things.About an hour later I went to an urgent care and they noticed that I had nicked a tendon and advised me to goto the ER, so I did.Got to the ER, sat in a room for about 3 hours while people came in and out and took my BP and took 3 X-rays of my hand and gave me some shots for antibiotics and tetanus . Finally the doctor came in and and gave me 3 stitches. Didnt even do anything to my tendon, just advised me to see an orthopedic specialist which I later did.Turned out to be a hardly an emergency at all. Something the urgent care could have absolutely handled.So now Im getting a bill from the facility. The insurance has covered around 2200 of the bill but I still owe over 1600 deductible 30coinsurance for the visit !?! Oh and I got another separate bill from the doctor for 1200!!Im looking at the bill with the CPT codes associated with each procedural fee and Im honestly flabbergasted. Part of the charges is a procedure for tendon repair which never happened. I simply got 3 stitches and went on my way.1, how did my insurance accept these rates in the first place? 2, what can I do to remedy this? I honestly cant find the logic in some of the prices. Not to mention the procedure that never happened.I want to dispute this bill and Ive been trying to find some data on CPT codes and fee associated with them but Im getting mixed results, but non the less much much cheaper than what is on the bill. I want to do my due diligence before i dispute the charges. Does anyone know a good data base to search for costs on drugs and procedures? Im I live in Oklahoma if thats of any relevance.CPT CODE charge:73130- 675.85 x ray26418-940.92 tendon repair96372-349.55 therprophinj scim99284-1970.02 emergency services 90714-172.00 td vacc no presv J0690-63.00 cefazoli inject 500mg90471-281.51 immunization Do these prices look right?Edit: I use Aetna, Im 25, dont qualify for Medicare or Medicaid.
