I'd make a call to your insurance provider and the Dr. Make sure everything was coded properly when submitted to the insurance company.
I had surgery in December and have been watching the stream of bills come in over the past 8 weeks. Monday, I got what appeared to be a "final" bill after my insurance company paid their share. Total amount was about $50,000 and my portion? $30,256. Um. No.
Called the Drs office first and then the insurance company. Looks like some things were not coded properly and were not covered at the rate they should have been. In the end, I think I'll end up owing about $2,000 on top of the $2,000 or so I've already paid. That's in line with what I expected.

I wish you luck but I have recent experience with the "not coded properly" that I just couldn't get resolved and finally just effing gave up. Bounced back and forth between the provider and @#$%& Humana about 200% more than I had time for. Small amounts, fortunately.
