Get the itemized statement with the codes, in writing. Compare it to the statement from your insurance, or your Medicare Summary Notice; what was allowed is the number that matters. Ask which rule each charge breaks: billed twice, bundled items billed again one by one, not ordered, not received. Put the dispute in a letter, not a call, by certified mail, and keep the receipt. Ask about financial assistance; a nonprofit hospital is required to have a policy. No lawyer. Just the letter.
Everything a lawyer would do with the bill, done for you: read it, compare it, draft the letter.
Check your bill — freeThe check is free. The letter is the paid part: you print and mail it yourself, or we send it by certified mail for you. No account needed to start.
This is the general rule, in plain words. BillFighter is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. If you have been served with court papers, that is the day for a lawyer or legal aid.
