    Emergency Room Visit Denials

    Wait, do American hospitals charge people for visiting patients in the ER? Or is this about reimbursements for transport and parking?

      Assuming you’re not being sarcastic, “visit” in this context is talking about the patient themselves going to and using the ER, not a bystander visiting a patient who is already there.

        Ah, that makes more sense. I misread. With all of the horror stories I hear about American health care, it seemed farfetched, but not entirely out of the realm of possibility.
