AnswerSimple math. If the hospital bill is $10k and each policy pays $8k then the hospital owes somebody $6k.
yes
There could be several reasons why you have not received a bill from the hospital. It's possible that there was an issue with your insurance information, or the billing process may have been delayed. It's important to contact the hospital's billing department to inquire about your bill and ensure that it is being processed correctly.
You can't
It depends on which state you live in. All states in the United States have different laws when it comes to who can garnish wages or taxes.
YOu have to pay the balance of what the insurance companies do not pay.
a popular misconception among people is that as long as i pay them a little every month they cannot sue me but that's incorrect. its up to the hospital if they want to accept your payment plan.
I might not understand your question completely correctly, but I'll try my best. If you received a bill for last year and you paid it off completely, there would not be any reason to hold back this year's tax refund. That assumes that you are entitled to a tax refund this year, of course. The reason that you get a tax refund every year is because you have more taxes withheld from your paycheck each week than is required. You could get a larger paycheck each week instead of a tax refund if you properly completed Form W-4 which you give to your employer. On the other hand, if you did not pay the bill from last year, then some or all of this year's refund will be retained to help pay your debt. If you just recently paid this bill off, it may be possible that your payment hasn't registered in the system yet and your refund will be delayed. If you have paid the bill from last year and they are still holding your refund, contact the IRS at the number given on the notice they sent you.
Apparently so.I recently received a letter informing me that I was being sued for a hospital bill from 2005 that I had never received a bill for.Luckily I was able to set up a payment plan and keep it from going to court and becoming a judgment against me.
yes some insurances make that option available to pay online
Yes. In fact many clinic's and hospitals have now gone private and do not accept Public aid patients at all. Faith based hospitals and clinics that are non profit are the few left who accept these payments. The fee or services is the same for everyone regardless what insurances coverage you have.
