I wish I could figure this **** out, I finally thought I had ALL of the bills, total was like $5,200, so today I get a bill, 3 fuggin months later or 2 I guess for $1,100. When I opened it I tossed it aside assuming it was one tha tI already had, I just looked and it isn't, so what the ****? That is bullshit, I am tyring to figure out how I and what type of paments to attempt to establish with each one of these dr's and what not and another bill comes trickling in, pisses me off.
Oh yea, I figured out something worse then paying bills, paying them when you are broke LOL our mortgage goes down Aug 15, gonna use the $150 we save there to pay the medical bills, oh and one thing I just found out a few days ago, medical bills go on your credit repors so now it looks like I have thousands of $$$ worth of debt (which I do) but luckily since this isn't a full refi they don't check that ****.
Always keep kicking ya when you are down it seems

LOL Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland, WA, they can bite my ***.
Anyhow, it's really odd FikseRxSeven. She went into the ER, then was admitted to the hosp, soooo, we have a bill for the ER a bill for the room, then bills from each individual dr that saw her at the hospital. That is where the extra bills keep coming from, everytime a dr walked in, he's on a separate tab.... apparently. I haven't figured it all out myself, there are two bills for the ER and we had to pay for the containment/isolation room and all that **** even though their was no need, we also paid for all their fuggin suits they wore in too, the ER bill is broken down a bit, the hospital bill is rediculous and I will fight some of that ****, they charged her $45.00 for generic over the counter lotion, you can buy the Eucerin brand, the real **** in the store for $10.00 or less.

that sucks...... the crazy thing is they will bill you that much, but insurance companies will only pay a fourth of what they bill. ill ask a person that i work with that has experience working in hospitals to see what else you can do to lower your bill...... i wish i can help you out, too bad im more in the smaller scale billing.
one thing to keep in mind though.......... when we're billing patients through our office, as long as there is cash flow(no matter how little they pay) we are not allowed to send them to collections agencies, therefore not ******* up your credit . not really sure if that rule pertains to hospital billing also
