Urgent care sent me to the ER. They gave me antacids and charged $1,500

My stomach was killing me one day and I was out of town visiting family, so they drove me to urgent care.

The quack there told me to go to the ER because my appendix had “no more than a day or two before bursting” without doing any imaging on me.

At the ER, they do bloodwork they do a CAT scan, but diagnosed gastritis and sent me home with pantoprazole.

On the itemized bill I received the total was like 11 or 12 grand. I get that I should pay for the CAT scan at the least but that only amounted to like $4,000; I owe the hospital $1,500 for a stomach ache because some idiot scared me into thinking I needed my appendix out.

What are my chances of explaining this and getting my bill lowered? Can I ask them to recode some of the smaller chunks of the bill or argue that I didn’t need those things done to me?
