My wife was in a car accident and went to the hospital back in September 2017. We just received a bill in the mail today. It was a $17 charge, adjusted by $5.51 (in Nov 2017), and states the remainder ($11.49) is for our deductible. This bill is not large enough to try and dispute or get to the bottom of, but wtf man? 2 years later? I really wish there was some sort of statute of limitations, or some rule about sending medical bills in a timely fashion. I mean they've had nearly 2 years to send this bill and they didn't. I understand a glitch may happen here and there and something may go out a month or two late, or insurance may dick them around sending it back and forth, but after a year they should lose their chance to bill me.
I'm obviously just going to pay it and be done with, but it really irritates me when this shit happens.
