[QUOTE="jcthorne, post: 14536157, member: 41108"] Sorry, I don't agree. Even if the OP spent the hour or more it would have taken to read the actual agreement he was singing, unless he was a contracts attorney, there is no way he would have fully understood what was written. Might have well have been in Latin. The BS FRAUD in the health care system has to stop. Credit ratings be dammed, I have fought with several medical companies after stupid bills from hospital stays. Tell the provider you will not accept any charges outside of what the insurance pays unless specifically agreed in writing. Sign nothing while in pain or on pain meds, they have to agree and cannot withhold treatment. If they try to bill you anything outside of insurance allowed charges, decline them as not authorized. Tell any bill collector the same. They eventually give up and move on to some other poor schmuck who will pay because they think they have to. Yes, Obamacare has made this MUCH worse and next year will be worse again as most all HMO/EPO employer health plans have been killed as they are outside of what Obamacare allows. This is going to get very bad. Don't back down and let shysters in the health care field do this and get away with it. To the OP, call the provider and state in no uncertain terms that the charge was not disclosed to you, you did not authorize it and the charge was not stated on the forms you signed. Blank check forms are not enforceable in any court and they know it. Ask that they reduce the charge to fair market value and you will entertain the idea of making payment on the reduced charge. Otherwise you only feel you can afford $5 a month on a payment plan. So long and you are making an ATTEMPT to pay the medical bill, they cannot report you for past due bills. [/QUOTE]
