Three kids, pretty sure each one had something related to the birth or pregnancy care end up in collections. We could pay it all no problem and the things that went to collections were usually tiny, medical billing's just completely fucked up.
You get low-hundreds (not an exaggeration) different documents, handed to you and via mail over the course of a year (9ish months + a few after, ends up close to a year), some of which are bills and some of which look like bills but say "this is not a bill" (so... why'd you send it?) and some of which are from your insurance referencing other things and blah blah blah, then you get a few that are clearly a screwup and you call the provider and they're all "LOL no your insurance got it it's fine, ignore that bill" (!?!?! seriously, dafuq, how many people just pay it and do you give them their money back unless they ask?) and of course one of those pieces of paper is gonna slip through the cracks.
Insurances companies get a lot of shit, but the whole medical billing complex is rotten, top to bottom.
