Insurance denied claim, reached out to hospital about financial aid, was told to send 30 days of paystubs and checking account statement. Is that typical?

Quick backstory, got surgery, everything seemed fine, and then insurance said “this is pre-existing, we’re not covering it” and the hospital presented a $17k bill (that keeps growing).

I assumed I needed to send the pay stubs to show I can’t afford the payments the hospital offered (2200 a month) on my salary. However, I was a little taken back when they asked for a recent checking account statement, since it honestly felt slightly intrusive to me. I wanted to double check if this is a normal occurrence, or something I should question? Thank you.
