I was instructed to go to the hospital by my provider for a procedure to be performed emergently. Upon arriving at the hospital, I was instructed to go to the Emergency Room and register. After waiting in the ED lobby for over an hour, I was taken back in to the emergency department by a technician. Moments later a PA walked by and asked if I was the patient going for a procedure. I stated that I was and he indicated he would return. Just then, a nurse arrived to take me to pre-op for my procedure. After my discharge, I received a bill from the hospital and the emergency room provider for care rendered in the emergency department. After providing the details and the provider review of my records, it was determined no care was provided in the emergency department and the provider cancelled their billing. The hospital has remained insistent on charging the hospital emergency room facility charge despite no care being provided.
