People also need to be aware that there are various bills for the hospital, providers, procedures, etc. Doctors and other services are often billed seperately and not part of your hospital bill. Many doctors and other services are contracted providers and do their own billing which is NOT part of hospital billing. You will get a hospital bill but you should also expect to pay your providers as well for their services such as anesthesia, ER doctor, radiology, etc. That is not "double billing" but fees for services rendered. I think people sometimes confuse this.
