Will probably end up in non moto but I’ll start here.
I have a pretty decent med insurance plan but In an emergency situation I was brought to an out of network medical provider and once stabilized thransferred to an in network provider. Long story short after spending 3 nights in the non network hospital and am left with a pretty hefty bill. I have met all of my max out of pocket deductables for the year and appealed 3 times the remaining balance with my provider to only be denied. They said they have paid all they are going to pay for services rendered. (Reasonable amount for services). However, the hospital is charging what seems to be a pretty inflated rate and I am being told that I am resposible for the difference above and beyond my max out of pocket deductables. I have also read that balance billing is illegal in the state of California. If you have any info that you can share on how to handle it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan Raiford
