I keep getting bills from different departments for my emergency appendectomy. Is this normal?!

Last month I was admitted into the ER for appendicitis and they did an emergency appendectomy on me. I stayed overnight and was discharged the next day. This is my first ER at a hospital so I’m not sure what to expect. I’m on a UHC PPO choiceplus plan. So far, I’ve received bills for:

– Inpatient visit for doctor: $430

– actual surgery performed by doctor: $70

—– deductible hit —-

– hospital outpatient services: $100 copay

– Anesthesia: $112 coinsurance

– Radiology services: $20 coinsurance

I’ve gone over the EOB and they all seem legit. I just don’t want to keep getting hit with bills that I didn’t know existed. I thought they charged one lump sum from the hospital. So this is standard procedure, every department bills differently?

To make it worse, hospital is Scripps and I can’t even access my account as they recover from the hack 2 weeks ago, lol.
