It's worse than that, my wife got one of these bills from a provider who was never in her hospital room. The bill ended up getting waived but it was for more than the rest of the stay.
- lacker 6y agoYeah, we got a bill from the hospital once with a footnote saying, some of these procedures may have actually been for another patient, not for you, we don't have complete records. But your insurance agreed to pay it, so we recommend you don't worry about it.
- colejohnson66 6y agoHow is that not straight up fraud? If you don’t know if a procedure was for me or someone else, you’re lying by billing me!
- jccooper 6y agoInsurance and hospitals basically do bulk deals. Insurance is probably paying for the service one way or another, so they don't care much to whom the record is attached. And if you're not out of pocket, doesn't matter much to you either.
