She has been to the ER over 50 times in less than 3 months!!!. She will not be turned away
That's more than every other day.

The average cost of an ER visit is $1389
"Charge"; not cost. So what does she present with, as in chief complaint?

She mostly goes to the ER for complaints of pain. The pain is always ill defined and vague. It could be back pain or abdominal pain. Multiple tests are usually run that come back negative. Sometimes she is given pain medication and sometimes she is not

Even if the cost is written off, it is a waste of the resources and time of the ER. It makes the wait time longer for others who need it.

She is going to multiple ERs and sometimes 2 in the same day
