CHA charged exactly double what I was expecting. Thought it was a clerical error but nope. They have this really dumb system that charges for the service and then the doctor charges you whatever CHA's "facility usage" fee is. Basically CHA owns the building and all the medical equipment and you get charged for that and the doctor's going rate.

My insurance specifically stated that the doctor was covered but I had no way of knowing beforehand that CHA was a different 'chargable' entity. I guess from now on I need to ask if the location any doctor practices in is included in their services. Completely ridiculous if you ask me.
