Stamford Hospital is notorious for sending bills to patients before sending them to the insurance company. The best I can say is to get the insurance company on the line.

Yeah I’m very been on the phone with my OB, insurance company and the hospital. My Dr is trying to change the order coding but is getting pushback from the hospital. The hospital is stating it’s a separate test and the insurance company is saying they have to go by the codes on the bill. Found this today: https://www.cga.ct.gov/2022/fc/pdf/2022SB-00358-R000356-FC.pdf So essentially CT recognized this shady shit and enacted a bill to cover additional testing.

Keep bugging your ob office about it. They care about patient satisfaction and will usually help to resolve things like this. See if you can speak to a practice manager or even a nurse about it. I don’t think your insurance can do anything since it’s coded this way.
