which meant none of the other related charges got paid by the insurance company, because that is their policy.

6 months later, that specialist has reported the amount to a collection agency, and has had is lawyer calling my dad. of course the hospital hasnt been paid either, due to this one doc.

Responses:

how much does that sort of admin cost? all that reporting, and collection agencies taking their cut, etc etc? -- nm - Andie Jul 21, 07:17 2
