[Question - Other] Went to my University's health clinic last month, being charged more than my regular co-pay. Is this normal?

So, like the title says, last month I visited a doctor at my university's clinic and am being charged $44. I've visited a different doctor at this clinic once before back in spring and was charged $30 (my regular copay) for that visit. I've already called my insurance about the $44 for my most recent visit, and they told me the reason it is that amount is because the doctor I saw is an "Emergency Medicine specialist" doctor.

Have any of you ever experienced something like this before/is this normal? I would think if you are practicing at a regular health clinic, your specialty doesn't matter. Honestly, I find it a bit deceptive to patients because if you sign up for an appointment at a clinic (that is in network) you have no reason to think every doctor there is not a regular PCP.
