<prompt> Human: Good morning,So about a month ago I had an undiagnosed angioedema swelling event on my lipsjaw at work and decided to go to Urgent Care to see if they could do something about it. They gave me a few steroidallergy shots with no improvement so they said they had no more tools and sent me to the ER. I reluctantly went to the ER, in my plans network, and was checked in. I gave them a list of the shots the Urgent Care gave me and they said that was the same tools they had there, and that they wanted to keep me overnight to make sure the swelling did not expand into my airway. At this point the swelling was already receding, it has occurred in the past and always swelled for 12 hours and then retreated on its own. I told the doctor that that wasnt necessary, but they still had to suggest I stay for liability reasons understandable. They said they were going to keep checking up on me even though I said that I wanted to be discharged I live a few blocks away from the ER, and they left to see other patients. I waited about 30-60 minutes and hit the call button and asked to be discharged and they said they would be there shortly. Eventually, a few hours later, they finally got there and I left. I got a notice that I owe 1100 for that visit; they did nothing except hook me to the monitor and tell me they were going to keep an eye on me since I had dangerous swelling and then ignored me for several hours. If the swelling had expanded they probably would have been too late to do anything anyhow. The bill also says that the doctor that saw me was not in my network, even though the ER itself is, so I dont know what is up with that. What should I do about this bill? Also, if there is a more appropriate subreddit I would be interested in posting there too. ThanksTLDR; ER wasted my time and then charged me for doing nothing and I feel like I shouldnt have to pay most, if any, of the bill.  <response>: Emergency rooms are expensive. 1100 isnt out of the ordinary for the services you received. You can probably appeal the out of network doctor since you didnt have any control over that i.e., have insurance count that toward your in-network deductible.
