I am not american but I ended up in an american ER on july 2nd after I had a medical emergency during a vacation in the USA, I was asked for all my info and to pay 100 as "good faith" to prove I'd pay since my insurance didn't go through, I was also told my bill would likely be only around 100 more since it was only a short visit that did not requiere any medical tools or rooms, I was only there for tooth pain so they simply looked at my tooth and gave an antibiotic.
I gave them my address and specified several times it was in a different country, I was also asked for my hotel address but was told they would be able to send the bill to my real address.
I never got the bill and called them but was told it wasn't ready yet and to keep waiting, finally 2 weeks ago I was able to use the online payment portal and I saw a 800 dollar bill, as advised I called to ask for an itemized statement sent to my email, I was also told that they didn't save my real address and they had sent the bill to the hotel hence why I never got it but whatever, good thing is they got my email right.
Well, I never got the itemized statement sent to my email either so I said fuck it ill just pay it but it now says my pending balance is $0.00, is this normal? Was it send to collections despite it only being 2 weeks after I was able to see the balance due?
