<prompt> Human: A few weeks ago I came down with really bad sinus infection. At the time, I didnt have insurance because I had just left my job to move out of state and didnt yet have benefits through my new job. I knew that an emergency room visit was going to cost me but I didnt have a doctor in the area yet and I was having a hard time trying to find a doctor who could see me without an appointment or insurance. My face was incredibly swollen and I was in a severe amount of pain and didnt know what else to do so I just went to the ER.When I got there, the nurse practitioner briefly examined my nose and mouth then diagnosed me with a sinus infection. She prescribed me some amoxicilin and sent me home. A few days later I was still in pain and not feeling any better. My mom advised me to go to an urgent care center since it would likely be much cheaper than another emergency room visit. The next morning I went to the urgent care center where the doctor there did a much more thourough examination of me and found that I had not only a sinus infection but an abcess in my gum. He ordered me to stop taking the amoxicilin then prescribed me clindamycin for the infection and prednisone for the swelling. After a day of taking those two drugs I felt much better and after a week I was pretty much fine.Then, last week I got the bill from the hospital. Between the nurses fee and the hospital fee, theyre charging me 1100. Im having a hard time stomaching the fact that Im going to have to pay that much money for an examination that didnt diagnose my illness and a hospital visit that I had to follow up with care from another medical facility to recieve help for. Is there a way I can get this at the very least negotiated down to something more reasonable?  <response>: You may be able to negotiate a better price as a cash patient with no insurance.However, note that you did receive services triage, ER bed, examination, diagnosis, and prescription, so the bill is to be expected.
