Medical bill because no authorization

So I was billed for a test done at an in-network facility where I was referred. Apparently they needed an authorization. The facility contacted my insurance for this and my insurance told them no authorization was needed. So I ended up being billed because my insurance policy has a self-referred category and that’s what it got billed under because I didn’t have authorization. Had I received authorization it would have been billed normally and I’d have a $20 copay. I’m still waiting to hear back. The facility is contacting my insurance tomorrow to hopefully figure it out. But is this typical? Will it end up on my shoulders to pay?
