Okay. Spoke with Mom, she mentioned that you should speak with hospital administration because what you had doesn't really qualify as an actual consultation. It just sounds like another way for the doctor to get extra money that the insurance companies wouldn't argue with. Apparently it's fairly common for the higher-up doctors to do that sort of billing, even if they're just on rounds and merely look at a patient's chart and stop in their room. Hopefully the admin will see where you're coming from and take those charges off your bill.
