These are highway robbers. Try getting treated anywhere else in the area. My girlfriend's visit ended up with two different kinds of overcharging.

The more egregious overcharging is that they performed a surgery that she did not need. The staff presented some information and said she had 10 minutes to make a decision, and the nurses essentially pressured her into accepting the doctor's recommendation. After the fact, she took some time to read, learned that the operation was completely unnecessary, and has regretted it ever since.

The less egregious overcharging is that she had an appointment with a specific doctor and, when she showed up, the doctor was "unavailable". Instead, someone else saw her, told her she had nothing to worry about, and made her another appointment with the doctor she was supposed to see. This was charged as a "hospital visit", for over $13k. Insurance cuts that down by a lot, but this is still pure bait and switch.
