I paid for my surgery in full before having it. Facility 10,400. Surgeon 3,500. Well I have been receiving bills in the mail. One for pathology that was not included. Well then I receive one for $600 from hospital. Then one for 5,000 for anesthesia(included). Well I contact the hospital and they tell me I got a zero balance with them and they are going to contact the anesthesia place because that was included. So I am waiting for that. Well I just checked my mail and opened a bill for 59,000. WTF I am freaking out. Has this happened to anyone. It shows my 10,400 paid. It doesn't even have services just inpatient. I did not have any complications and only spent 1 night.

Well for perspective. My surgery cost 38K and insurance paid 11K, that was their negotiated rate. What you did was similar. If the hospital says you have a zero balance then you have a zero balance. Their billing system has to catch up. They aren't really equipped for self pay at most places.

I think you're probably fine. I was also self-pay and I got a few bills after surgery. I had to pay one for like $100, but the others my surgeon's office just fixed. Sometimes there are wires crossed and the hospital will correct the problem.
