Consumer Complaint: A few months ago i contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX pa regarding a bill that was XXXX. I paid a XXXX deductible and i was told that this was all i would owe at the time of service and if anything the next bill i would recieve would only be a few dollars more. It turned out the hospital didnt tell me that i would get that additional bill of XXXX. They told me the XXXX was all i would owe and billed me for XXXX.i disputed the claim by mail. I never recieced a call or a letter from the hospital after i wrote to them to try to settle the amount since they failed to notify me on what my insurance would cover and any additional cost after. I tried to negotiate it for 1/2 of the price they never got back to me nor did they notify me that they would be putting this on my credit after i attempted to settle the debt. Turns out i moved and still didnt recieve a letter regarding the balance but my credit dropped 30 points and they didnt get back to me as i requested them not to call me my cellphone is broken and to notify me by mail only. No attempt to settle nor resolve a problem that they caused after they told me this would be all that i would owe. I shouldnt owe anything if i paid my bill in front the day of service. They shouldve contacted my insurance 1st.
