Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida
What are my legal options if I believe I've been overcharged at the emergency room as an uninsured patient. I tried calling the hospital plus the various other entities: physician, radiology, pathology. So far only the hospital has offered a reduced fee. I never asked for a room or specifically for these extra tests or to speak with a physician, who only popped in twice for maybe 2 minutes maximum. I was also never asked if I had insurance before they started treatment, if it can even be called that.

Anyone is free to dispute the charges as unreasonable and unnecessary.
