Context on Sutter Health billing
Sutter has been the subject of a long-running California antitrust case over its pricing — a useful piece of context when evaluating a bill. The most common issues Audra catches: balance billing for emergency services where state law (and now federal NSA) say the patient can't be on the hook beyond the in-network rate, and facility fees that quietly add hundreds of dollars to what looked like a doctor's-office visit.
