I've said various times before, you should always double check medical bills. Errors are common from doctors, hospitals, labs, etc. Before I pay virtually any medical bill, I call and verify that it is correct, the insurance was billed properly, they aren't balance-billing, etc. Hospital bills are the worst. Last year, I found over $1,000 in errors on my wife's bill after surgery.
And always make sure your doctor has your latest insurance information. I can't tell you how many times a patient comes in complaining about a bill and it turns out they changed insurance plans and never informed us.
