Colby Grabill only recently started to grasp the link between his untreated ADHD and depression, and was referred by his physician to a MercyOne psychiatrist last year to get medication to help. He said he went to three appointments from July to October at the hospital’s behavioral health center in Des Moines ― the first for about a half hour, the others lasting about 10 to 15 minutes. When the 35-year-old father of six finally got bills for those visits, he said, he thought surely there’d been a mistake. Cigna Healthcare paid all but $20 of the $150 doctor bill for each visit, but Grabill was told he was personally responsible for paying $488.78 in hospital facility fees to mercyone_iowa for each visit. For all three visits, the amount due was $1,466.34. The sticker shock that caused Grabill and his wife to contest the bill with MercyOne is being felt across the country.
