They incinerate them unless they were donated to science by the amputee. ;)

This kind of thing happens fairly often. You really need to stay on top of your doctors, social security, medicare, hospitals and other insurance. Keep everything they send you. I put it all in loose leaf binders. Then every year I move the year's worth of paper to it's own envelope just like I do my tax records. You just never know. Yes, a lot of decent folks who can't afford this nonsense get taken. I don't think it's necessarily a conspiracy but there are a lot of incompetent people working in medical care facilities. Most doctors have no idea how the insurance really works. I haven't had anyone try and bill me for $9,000.00 as you have. But, I've had a couple of medical groups try and bill me for the difference between what medicare pays and their fees. If the doctor or hospital accepts medicare assignment, then that's all I'm paying them.

biohazardous waste...
the bio-hazard truck comes and takes all the biohazardous waste away....
and I suppose it is incinerated someplace....
but I'm pretty sure they don't keep the limbs around - there was a reason why they were cut off in the first place (infection)

They have a yard sale. With prices that won't cost you an arm and a leg.

They bag them, tag them, and send them to the morgue. Really.
