Why did I get a radiology bill after the hospital already billed me?

The hospital facility and the radiologist often bill separately. One bill may be for the hospital visit or scanner use, while another bill is for the radiologist reading the images.

Does a separate radiology bill always mean something is wrong?

Not always. Separate radiology bills are common. The key question is whether the bill matches the EOB, the date of service, and the setting of care you actually had.
