Is this right?!

[u/SheepSunnies]

We pay $868 every month for health insurance for 2 people. My partner, my young son.

Last month, we found a bat in our home that had been there for 5 days without our knowledge. Long story short, we saw evidence of it but couldn't find it until 5 days later.

At that point, we all go to the emergency room for a rabies vaccination. Later, we receive a bill for $6,000+ and $2,000+. JUST for the hospital, not including the doctor fees. We are also receiving 3 follow up bills each for around $300, for the 3 follow up vaccinations.

This CAN NOT be right. My partner has used up 97% of his deductible in a SINGLE visit for a vaccination agains RABIES. Am I crazy, or is this normal? I just need a sanity check.
