Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/2021 I made a visit to the XXXX XXXX later on I received a bill for {$1600.00} and around the same time I received an email with the EOB from my insurance which states that they issued a check to the hospital and I was in charged of paying the remaining balance {$290.00}. I kept receiving bills from the hospital for the same amount one day I called and the said they are not in charge of that bill that the bill was sent to collection ( which I never got a noticed from it until a week later after I called ) when I talked to collections we set up monthly payments and they still charged me the full amount. I explained the situation and they were kind of rude and told me to send the paper work through fax which I did and I havent receive any response yet, and I already made some payments. The agencies involved are : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
