<prompt> Human: I went to an emergency physician for 20 minutes for them to tell me what I already knew, that I had a stomach ulcer, They charged me 700 for it which I thought was insane. Yesterday I got a bill from a completely separate medical center that Ive never been to in my life telling me they only want 135 out of the 700 since I didnt have insurance. So when I called the first hospital, they gave me the same billing phone number that gets me to the second hospitals phone number Yes, this obviously means that the second hospital owns the first hospital and they are telling me that the first 700 bill is for the physician and the second 700 bill that was comped was just for stepping foot in the hospital. So if they werent comping the bill then I would owe 1400 for 20 minutes because there wasnt a doctors office around? Everyone Ive talked to about my billing problem doesnt understand the problem at all and is throwing words at me and studdering to get me off of the phone and I dont know what to do at this point. I mean Im fairly sure that now Im getting billed by the doctor himself who said hi to me, gave me some meds and left. I occupied a room for 30 seconds. I called and asked for an itemized bill and they said I was holding it in my hand but there wasnt a single thing on it other than Visit at X hospital: 700I dont know if this is even the right place for this but you guys have been pretty good at solving these situations in the past so I thought I would ask you all first.  <response>: You will generally get a bill from both the physician AND the hospital. So the 135 is for the hospital, and the 700 is from the physician. You might consider contacting the physician from the 700 bill and getting an itemized receipt or something and making sure all of the coding is correct.
