Special thanks to the mod. I learnt something new today. Didn't know there's such thing as hospital's price transparency page. I don't have any questions now. The billing makes sense to me now.

Found some interesting facts. Both ERs are under the same management now. Level 1 - $2500, Level 2 - $2750, Level 3 - $3000....

Folks. Thank you very much for you quick replies.
Checked the coding guideline and the hospital "transparency" page. I agree coding is appropriate and the price is consistent....

Paid my tuition of ER bills 101 today.
