I was billed $1,850.40 just for the doctor to tell me that I have a Bronchitis! What a shame!

I am a French citizen, who stayed in the US for a couple of months. In February 2020, I have been diagnosed with bronchitis after a 30 minutes visit and a quick check by a doctor. She then asked, to do an X-ray scan that I refused, because it is unnecessary to diagnose bronchitis. However she insisted because of the Covid-19 situation, and she ensured me that it won't cost more than $50.

1. Charged $366 charged for a "radiology diagnostic"

Let me tell you how surprised I was by the amount billed. I asked both to the doctor and the operator of the scanner the amount of such diagnosis. And both answered that it won t be more than 50$.

2. Regarding the $1,457 charged for an "emergency room"



3. Regarding the $75 charged for a "pharmacy"

Regarding the pharmacy coast. I was given only 3 pills (1 steroid + 2 antibiotics) and one sip of cough syrup. I don't understand how those 3 pills and a sip of syrup can justify an amount of $75.

To avoid by all cost ! A shame for the medical system
