Does anyone have any advice about a medical bill that was sent to collections, yet I never received the final bill before my account was sent to collections?
Long story short - I found billing errors on the initial itemized hospital statement. I reported the errors to the hospital and to my insurance. I kept checking for updates but was told the new claim was still processing. I received a letter in the mail today from a collection agency. I'm blindsided because I never received the final updated bill from the hospital.
I plan to call the hospital on Monday to get to the bottom of this. I'm livid and I don't want this debt collection to show up on my credit report.
I can pay the amount in full, and have planned to all along once I received the final bill - but I want to make sure I go through the proper channels now that it's in collections so this doesn't cause problems for me in the long run.
