My Hospital Bill was $119,000 for 5 days

[dixiegrrrrl]

51. did you tell your insurance company about that?

When Mr. d was in hospital and had insurance, we reviewed the bill and found a bunch of erroneous charges,
sent the bill back with a note that we would be contacting our insurance company about the errors,
month later got back a corrected bill.

We then sent bills to insurance company with a note about the original errors.
6 weeks later, hospital then wanted to know where their money was, and I told them I had sent the bill to insurance for review of original and corrected bill.
Took another 6 weeks before insurance got back to us, then a few weeks latere, I called hospital to see if THEY had gotten corrected info. from insurance.
Another month went by.
Whole process took almost 6 months before we had to pay anything to hospital. Ended up paying them about 1200.00.
Many ways to delay payments...heh heh.
