Medical “debts” are almost always unilateral fees you never agreed to. No provider will state upfront what the fees will be! I got billed after the birth of my first child for services that had not been rendered by a physician who wasn’t even present, which my attorney characterized as “fraud” in a stern letter but that the hospital viewed as “debt”. I prevailed obviously but imagine the range of outcomes.
- FireBeyond 3y agoThe other people to contact there are your insurers. Despicable as some of them may be, they too hate provider fraud. Even if they don't appear to do something to censure the provider, it is on their file, and enough complaints will be problematic. I had a similar situation with a kidney stone. Transferred from my hospital to another by ambulance - I was moved from the ambulance gurney to the surgery bed in the hallway of the ER, and was billed for a ER visit among everything else, though no care had been rendered, no ER staff had been involved (hospital transport techs), it just happened to happen in the ER, and not even in a room.
