Hi Friends,
I need advice regarding multiple bills I've been receiving from an ER visit earlier this month.
Here's the background:
My health insurance lapsed (long story here that I won't get into, but I am now covered) and of course, in that short time frame, I needed to go to the ER.
I will try to spare you the details, but I had a HORRIBLE experience and the reason I went in was neither solved nor corrected during my visit. AKA a big waste of time, and money.
Now here is the situation:
Hospital bill-$1500 for lab work, a special test I needed, the room
Bill #2 from a third party billing company-$100 for the radiologist that read my "special test"
Bill #3 again third party-$1000 for the doctor that "treated" me. This bill infuriates me the most because the care I received was atrocious.
Hopefully there are no more of these suckers in the mail!
So far I got Bill #2 down to $50 so that one is now paid off, but does anyone have any advice for the others? Are there any secrets to negotiating my bills down??
I'd love any advice! Thank you!
