I called the billing office for the Ballard Emergency Physicians today, as that to the best of my understanding, my bill is due in a couple days.
You see, I called on June 21 to let them know I was still in appeals with my insurance. They then informed me that I was granted one reprieve already, and that was all they would offer.
When I called today, they let me know that my due date was reset again (though they couldn’t tell me when it was set to) and that this happened on June 21 when I called. I let her know that wasn’t the information I received before. “Then the person that informed you of that was mistaken. She filed a complaint on your behalf and it was sent to the physicians office for review.”
Interesting.
I was told that my account was not in any danger, at present, for going into collections.
Excellent.
I now am wondering if this has something to do with the complaints I filed with the Attorney General or the Department of Health… (maybe both.)
Stay tuned.
