My 20yr old son was on his skateboard and got hit and knocked out by a bicycle.
He came to shortly before the ambulance arrived. Head contusion, leg contusion,
brain CT, leg xrays, stitches, etc, 4 hrs and he was home. He is fine.
I have a $10k deductible so have been waiting for bills since Nov 15. I got statements from the insurance company showing what they allow the provider to charge. I paid the ambulance fee, but still waiting for the bill from the hospital ER. My son got one bill for something (don't recall), I tried to get him to negotiate it, but he didn't.
The hospital doesn't seem to be in a hurry to get paid.
The biker, he didn't stop.
