Situation:

A self- pay patient is seen for annual well woman, and also gets Mirena removal and insertion of new IUD all at the same encounter. The encounter ends up being very expensive. There is a note for all charges to be billed to other said person. Other said person turns out to be a highly superior hospital official ( an immediate relative of the patient). The charges are subsequently voided in full.

I am wondering what others think of this. Since the patient is self-pay, I know a price agreement can be made. But the person being billed definitely has our family-inclusive insurance. To me, it does not seem right.

But I am very new, and seem to be the only one raising eyebrows so maybe I am overthinking it?

Please any advice welcome.
