I found a bill with a mistake on it, as one of my kids was charged twice for a single procedure. I called to get it fixed, but instead of dealing with it they just immediately sent it to collections.
My experience has been that no one at the insurers nor at medical providers’ billing departments give a shit until state regulators and/or legislators’ offices get involved. Which means yet more time on the phone.
The amount of time lost dealing with this system of ours is incredible. All else being equal it would be a win just to eliminate that, and there’s no reason to suppose that is the only improvement we could achieve.
