I just wanted to say if anyone ever has this problem- file an appeal/complaint! We just received word today that the doctor's group approved our appeal and waived the $250 we owed the emergency room physcian. The hospital billed us $157 separately, which we paid. It gave my DH and I great satisfaction not to be out of pocket for a doctor who completely misdiagnosed him.

In the end my husband's hospital bills cost us $1000 out of pocket, instead of $1250. It is a small amount, but it makes us very pleased.
