So far, I haven’t had too many surprises with my medical bills from my May 2nd car accident. Kaiser and the auto insurance company are doing their parts. There’s one bill that’s kind of a mess, but it’ll get taken care of. I was a little nervous when I opened a letter from the hospital where I spent that night, expecting to owe the difference between what they billed Kaiser and what Kaiser actually paid. Luckily, that was not the case:
Total charges: $27038.85
Balance due: $200.00
(Kaiser only paid about $23000 of the bill)
So I wrote a check and sent it in. Also sent a copy of the bill to the insurance company for them to reimburse me. Still, I’m not used to seeing a five figure number on a bill.
