ER visit turned into a $2600 bill even with insurance and I genuinely dont know where to start pushing back. Is there an actual service that negotiates these down for you or am I on my own making phone calls all week

look up medical bill advocates, some do it for a cut of what they save you but its worth it for a bill that size

I called the hospital billing department directly and asked for an itemized bill. Found a coding error that knocked almost $400 off. Worth trying before you assume it's correct.
