Investigations like S. Amylase & S. Lipase are also indicated for ruling out other possibilities when dealing with a GB case. This all checks, but you should be given reports if the investigations have been done. Good luck! Cefazolin is an antibiotic they gave you for acute cholecystitis. Investigations like S. Amylase & S.

I would write to the Accounts Receivable Dept. **Writing is much more safe than phone calls, because once you hang up, the call never took place. This way, you have a record. Ask for a breakdown of what each charge is, in layman's terms.Once you know what they are charging you for, then ask if it was necessary. The Hospital Administrator would be the next person to contact after AR.. The bills received from hospitals are meant to be confusing, and misleading.

It has different names, look them up (Ancef is one). Amylase and Lipase check for Pancreatitis, they are blood tests and would have been routinely ordered. If you feel there is an error in billing, contact the billing department. Medical records will be needed to confirm or deny the claim, however remember this statement-"If it is not documented, it was not done" If they can not show you the test was ordered, and the results, or the medicine was given, than you dont have to pay for it.
