    I currently owe $500 to a surgeon who saw me for 10 minutes to tell me he couldn’t help me because we forgot to check if he was in-network and he wasn’t.

      Charge the doctor a $10,000 bullshit-charge charge, which is what you charge when you’re given a bullshit charge. The beauty is that the bullshit-charge charge cannot be countered by another of itself. At least not in these circumstances.

      You’d think the doctor could counter with a bullshit-charge-charge charge, but that would both be a clear admission that the initial charge is bullshit, and further, invites another bullshit-charge charge, because a bullshit-charge-charge charge is also clearly bullshit.
