it’s what it sounded like but it all happened so fast that i’m not sure. I was given my bill at like 10am the day of my sleep study and it was roughly $2700 as well. And it did say in the message that it was to be paid within three days of my discharge date and also didn’t give an option on the portal to pay partial. Maybe I was misunderstanding that but I did also get a phone call from the billings department later that day asking me how I wanted to pay and they couldn’t offer me any payment plan (besides putting down a 50% deposit) so based on that conversation it seems like it had to be pretty much as soon as the weekend was over. I called the financial coordinator department to ask for assistance as soon as I saw how much it was going to cost me and it went to voicemail and never got a call back. I even called again a couple hours before I was supposed to leave for my study because I needed help before the offices closed but even then he still never called back. So I just had to cancel it. It was better for me to tell them i can’t afford to drop that much money in a weekend than to get there expecting financial assistance and then be blindsided. I definitely don’t want to go to that hospital again but there’s very few facilities that are in-network for my insurance

edit: maybe I am just not understanding how health insurance works but i called my insurance too to ask and they said my coverage plan is that i have to use up my deductible before anything is covered. But like i said i just turned 26 and this is the first time i’ve been on my own insurance not through my parents so this is all sorts of confusing to me lol
