Ask for more details as others have said. File a dispute with your insurance.



I'll add here....make sure they filed the claim with your insurance provider (whether it's covered or not). Once they decide to deny the claim then you have appeal rights. At that point I would then appeal to the insurance company. To keep out of collections you can communicate this to the provider and keeping in touch with them doesn't hurt but the absolute first step is to request that they file the claim with your insurance and then wait for the EOP of denial from your insurance company.

This is good advice. Your insurance company may actually work to get the bill cost down. Sometimes they have mediators that negotiate with the provider for uncovered expenses.
