Only one cardiologist (that we saw) was there - but he could have consulted another one, etc...

This is why you need itemized bills. I can easily think of an explanation for that. You could have gotten one bill from the doctor who actually was present charging for his visit and another bill from the doctor who performed or interpreted a test. For example, if an EKG or stress test or echocardiogram was done, a doctor had to read it and prepare a report. That might have been done by a different doctor than the one who was physically there.
