My heart doctor supposedly contacted my insurance company and got preauthorization for the test. Come to find out I have a bill and my ins company knows nothing.My cardiologists office says i signed a self pay form stating I am responsible if my insurance doesn't pay?   Is this common practice? http://www.healthcentral.com/heart-disease/c/5878/9636/common-errors
