Medical bills are abbreviated medical jargon because that is all the space that is available on the computer programs sometimes that processes said bills.
Having said that, I was charged for a reduction once for a fracture when the fracture was not reduced, but just splinted, so yes an itemized bill is always a good idea.
I think you should call the hospital you were treated at and ask them who you should be getting bills from. Most hospitals have a sign that says who you will be getting bills from, but with you having an ER visit, you probably did not see the signs.
Good luck.
