If you ever doubt the hospital's bill, ask them to audit your account. I had one that I worked very hard to reconcile between the hospital and my insurance. I paid what the insurance said I owed. I received a threatening note from the hospital who was turning me into a collection agency. I redid my figures, could not find the error, and asked them to show me where I went wrong. Next thing I know they had audited by account which resulted in them sending me a check for a few thousand dollars of over payment. A friend in the hospital billing department says it is not uncommon for them to make mistakes.
