Oops! Hospital leaves surgical forceps inside a patient after operation

That bill was fraudulent, then. Unless they diagnosed and/or treated a different artery. That’s one way to get around it. If they stented your right coronary and subsequently found disease in your left coronary, then that would be billable. As a patient, I would push back on that 2nd charge because there is no way they should have missed disease in a second vessel. That would frankly be incompetent.
