That last one doesn't happen any more. It's called Surprise Medical Billing. Used to be that some providers would be out of network (thus requiring a separate bill) but now the law is that if an encounter is in network, the whole bill is in network.

I'm too lazy to do hyphens right now

The medical community needs to come up with a better word than encounter. "Encountering" one's doctor makes it sound like you should be filling a police report.

Also it results in billing codes like "sucked into jet engine subsequent encounter."

Imagine paying for Netflix.

when this used to happen in the late 90’s early 00’s I would pay one, dispute the others and then ignore the calls. I visited one hospital, I get one bill. The rest are spam.

I stopped paying for health insurance years ago, no way I can afford it now. I just get it through my state system.
