<prompt> Human: Hello personal finance!9 months ago my wife gave birth to my beautiful baby boy! We paid our deductible at discharge and was told by both insurance and hospital staff that we are in the clear and had nothing else to cover.9 months later I just received a bill for 6694 from the hospital.Do I have any recourse to fight this billing? Why after all this was said and done am I getting a bill for so much 9 months later???Any help or insight to fighting this is greatly appreciated.EDITsome insurance pictures to maybe help bring light to my situation...Seems there are some errors in the billing the provider sent to the insurance in the claim??editThank you for all the responses!! The pictures are indeed from the insurance statement of benefits.There is another bill I received from the hospital that confirms the amount.Looks like I definitely need to reach out to the insurance company on why they are refusing payment and take it up with the hospital to provide correct billing codes etc.Assistant: Usually theres co-insurance after you hit the deductible up until you hit your out of pocket max. What does your policy say?Human: That could be the case... unfortunately the information seems to hard to come by as I am no longer being covered by the same insurance company.Ill need to get more information on Monday when theyre offices are back open...I have added an edit to my original post with the claim they refused to pay from the provider.Hopefully that sheds some light on my situation?  <response>: Ive had a similar issue ongoing for a year. In my case, the hospital wrote down the obgyns id number down wrong and insurance counted it as out of network rather than in network and tried to charge us several thousand in co insurance. I called the hospitals billing department who called the insurance company and together eventually realized what happened. The claim was supposed to get amended by the hospital but got dropped, so I still get notices sometimes. When that happens I call in, we agree its still their problem and I go on with my life.Stuff that helped in this situation:1. I wrote down dates and times I contacted billing and insurance and the name of the person I spoke with.2. I treated the person in billing like they could help me out of a tough spot rather than someone who was screwing me. 3. Every time I call in I have my information ready they know Ive done this before and Im going to be easy to work with and I explain I have an ongoing issue and theyll want to read the extensive notes on my account. Im happy to hold as long as that takes.My daughter is over a year old and I got another notice in February. sigh
