They rushed him in and immediately started an IV and pushed a pain med through the IV. We found out it was a large kidney stone.

Two weeks later we get the EOB from Cigna saying they would not pay for the IV questioning it's necessity. They did however pay for the iv push drugs.

Now, if you have kidney stones the push fluids to try and help it pass. Still arguing this $1500 charge.
