As a father of two small children, I have had a tremendous issue with the billing department for our Doctor (who is tied to a university hospital). Every single well child visit over the last 2 years (which is supposedly covered 100% by our insurance, and every EOB shows $0 owed) is partly billed to us. I've had mixed success in calling their billing department and our insurance company, but every single visit ends up with us receiving a $170-$300 bill. Some of them even get sent to collections.
What can we do here? Anything? Is the hospital justified in sending us a bill for these things?
