I finally have in my possession the itemized bills for my three ER visits in April and May. Geez....took forever, fighting collection agencies, and finally getting to the right person. Now I need help translating some of this stuff....I have to pay 10%, which is a lot for me, so I have not sent them a penny (though the insurance blindly paid 90%). I even told them so on two different phone calls...sheesh.
Can you help me with what these are?
Sodium chlor (for fluids, right?)
Dextrose (fluids again?)
Dolasetron (2x)
Clindamycin (antibiotic, right? 2x--don't remember 2 antibiotic drips that day)
Metoclopramide
Ranitidine
And can they bill me three times for injections? I was poked once. Do they call "hanging another bag" [i]inj intamus[/i]? They also list the exact same service code for that....switching bags does not seem the same as placing the IV.
And they ran all these blood tests and I do not have the results for my records....frustrating isn't the word.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
