If you have certain tests or treatments in the hospital, you may receive bills


from physicians you did not see in person (i.e. consultants). Tese bills are for professional services rendered by these doctors in diagnosing and interpreting test results while you were a patient. Pathologists, radiologists, cardiologists, anesthesiologists and other specialists perform these services and are required to submit separate bills. If you have questions about these bills, please call the number printed on the statement you receive from them.
