Update on the ER billing situation from a few weeks back. The corrected statement finally arrived in the mail yesterday, and the facility fee has been adjusted to what the biller told me it would be. It took the full eight weeks she quoted, almost to the day.
I want to be honest that I am relieved, but I am also aware that this only worked because I kept calling the same person by name and had the claim number ready every time (she even recognized my voice by the third call). I do not think that should be the bar for getting billed correctly in the first place.
Thank you again to everyone who walked me through the codes last time. I would not have known what I was looking at otherwise.
