Yeah, definetely scrutinize the charges. BTW, a hospital doesn't bill for a physician, it's the physician that bills.

For that extra CT, did they have to give you dye twice, once, or not at all? If you get billed for 2 doses, I'd raise hell, since it can be bad for kidneys in high doses.

Anyway, 1/2 off sounds about right for folks paying cash. Sorry.
