I had a baby this summer. I received a bill from my ob in August for $600. I called and tricare had me listed as NOT active duty, and didn’t pay in full. I called tricare and had them fix it and list me as active duty, so my bill should be paid in full. I called my ob, and I thought we worked everything out. Then I got another “bill” for $600, except this time the bill seemed strange. It listed a bunch of date of service claims, but said the bill was due 3 days before I even recieved the bill, plus there wasn’t even an address to send a check to. I spent an hour on the phone with both the doctor’s office, and tricare. Everything was supposed to be worked out, but the doctor’s office said they would send me another bill, or call me if there was still a balance. Now I have suddenly received a letter from a collections agency telling me that I owe $200. I don’t even have a date of service or description of service that tells me why I owe this money. Of course it’s the weekend, and I can’t deal with this until Monday. I don’t even know who I’m supposed to deal with at this point. Do I call tricare, the doctor’s office, the collections agency? I don’t believe I owe this money, because tricare is supposed to pay everything. How am I supposed to work this out with tricare if I don’t even have a bill that has a date of service? Is this going to ruin my credit?
