Hospital Billing Fraud

shelly3524g asked:

About two weeks ago my friend was rushed to the ER. I ended up going with her in the ambulance. They also took me into the hospital to get checked out because I was so worked up over it, I thought she had died. Today I got a bill from the ambulance service for $660, but my friend still has to be charged. I knew I would have the hospital bill but Did the ambulance service make a mistake or did i really get charged for just riding with her?

Well, I took it to my insurance company to get it taken care of, and they did. The hospital that had billed me sent it to a collection agency. The case is resolved and closed now because it was a mistake, but it is on my credit report!! How do I get it removed??

My hubby had spinal surgery last week. He should have been out of the hospital but there were minor complications and unexpected pain. I have been struggling with how to handle this situation… His mom has taken over. First she’s been introducing me as his “girlfriend” to the doctors and physical therapists… So they have been giving her all his post op info. Its as if I am not there and invisible. His brother had to tell one of them to talk to ME at which point MOM huffed off. Then she completely screwed up his contact info, using hers as his address and even went so far as to discuss payments and insurance with them!! Because of her “mistake” I may end up with the entire hospital bill not being covered… now we all know in order to leave the hospital you have to show some independence, even just getting up alone… well… I walked in yesterday and she was FEEDING him… like a baby!!! She left me alone with him for a little while and he was a totally different…
person. He needed help getting up but he walked to the bathroom alone and even stood for a while. The nurses aide was shocked he was up and around and using the bathroom by himself. She said his Mom has been walking him and going in with him. My opinion is I am seeing how much of a Mama’s boy he is. WHich is fine, he’s hurt… but that she’s being so coddling and overstepping her boundaries that is frustrating to me. She even has numbers to contact people in an emergency not me.. who will be caring for him. I can’t wait to get him home because I think he’ll get better faster without her hovering… what is the best way to handle this situation without ticking everyone off?

Here’s the deal –

My brother “John Johnson”, and his girlfriend “Sara Smith” had to take their son to the hospital (he fractured his finger). The girlfriend filled out all of the paper work. She put her name as the mother, put her sons name down in all the right spots too.

Then the bill came and the name on the bill is “Sara Johnson” (her first name, his last name). This wasn’t a mistake she made, it’s a mistake the hospital made. So now she figures, she doesn’t have to pay because of the technicality.

any truth to that?
The first question I asked her was “what insurance company do you have?” she said she doesn’t have any insurance!!
