We've ended up with many bills, multiple EOB documents, et c., trickling in over a span of many months, coming from a bunch of different sources, each time we've had someone in the actual hospital (not just a doctor's visit), including three births. We've managed to miss some trivial bill and end up with it in collections because there's just so much damn paperwork and usually a few of them are in some state of error or dispute for some time. Seems to be normal. You in Kaiser or something? I understand that's smoother than... basically everything else, since it's all run by one entity (ahem).

In theory, that means we should have more billing hassles than with a typical HMO or PPO. I feel like they mostly get it right; we do have to be patient to let the billing and insurance people have a few rounds of figuring crap out, but I'm not involved other than opening the mail until it settles down to "OK, now pay this amount."
