Our son was born in early 2019, we set up a payment plan and finished paying it in early 2020. About halfway through 2020 we received a bill from the hospital saying we owed over $1000 dollars still. After much back and forth between us, insurance, and the hospital we were told it took that long for our insurance to deny it and the hospital to finally bill us. The first notice on this specific bill that we received was about 1 year and 2 months after our son was born. it had just been bouncing back and forth from the hospital and insurance that whole time supposedly.
We have recently been contacted by a debt collector saying we owe on this bill, and have been trying to prove that we payed the hospital and no longer owe anything. I have called the hospital and they said that they don't have any history of our payments, but I can find them very easily on our own bank records and followed the payment plan that we had initially set up and finished paying.
As of right now we have not had any contact with the debt collector besides the initial notification and the hospital is giving us the run around. What can we do to avoid paying a bill twice, we are ready to pull our hair out over this? Thank you!
