We were charged $900 EACH for two rooms- I guess one must have been the xray room where she spent two minutes. To make a long story short, our physician said yeah, if it had been during the day for an office visit, our bill would have been $200. Who's responsible for outrageous discrepancy? Reminds me of the epi pen guy who went from $14 to $400.
