Context on Banner Health billing
Banner serves a lot of the desert Southwest and grew rapidly via acquisitions. Audra users with Banner bills most often flag itemized-charge inflation on emergency-room visits where the hospital's chargemaster is materially higher than the prevailing local market. Even when in-network and covered, the patient share calculated as a percentage of the chargemaster can be surprising — and is often disputable against billed-vs-allowed math.
