Glad to hear it worked out, but I'm a bit confused.
The hospital said you owed, $3000, but the letter they sent you said the settlement would be less than 300? When did the letter for the $300 settlement arrive? After they sent you the $3000 bill 12 months later I presume?
Did they offer the $300 settlement after you called to complain?
The mail looked like junk mail. We usually stack that up and weed through it when we have the opportunity.
The timeline was...
Maggie born and stays extra 3 days in the hospital.
1 year later hospital sends $3000 bill. I call hospital to see what this is all about. One week prior was first attempt to process with my current coverage.
2 weeks later settlement for $300 comes in the mail and filtered as junk.
2 weeks later bill for $300 comes in the mail.
