Reply to comment by coolcalmaesop in Hospital billing legality? by mainemariners

Markham Associates as well.

MaineHealth hit me with a $2K ER bill a couple months ago.. with a special letter with my first bill telling me I had only until the end of the month because they were planning on sending it to collections. I get it. I have lousy insurance and no income. But honestly.. 2 weeks? What normal person can just write a check for something like that.

Now working on my second bankruptcy due to medical debt.

That is my problem as well…if you are struggling with anything else in life they go to collections before you can set anything up regarding income based repayment with the financial office.

The biggest slap in the face for me is that I owe some bills from pregnancy, yet the hospital I gave birth at changed over to a different records system and now has no record of any of the tests/procedures I’m still supposed to pay for.
