re: $110 medical bill in collections: pay or fight?

I had to take legal action against a Baton Rouge hospital in May 2023 over a $400 bill that I didn’t owe. I paid everything I owed and they sent the bill. When I asked about it, they told me it was because insurance denied a charge. Called the insurance company and was told they paid it but then the hospital billed it again, which they denied. I conference the hospital in with the insurance company, I listen to them discuss billing codes and payments, the hospital realizes the error. It’s done.

Fast forward to April 2023 and I’m told if I don’t pay it by May, I’ll be sent to a collections agency. I told them I’d sue if they did that. They reported to the collections agency and I obtained an attorney, who sent a strongly worded certified letter to the hospital threatening to sue them over multiple specific laws they broke by doing what they did.

I haven’t heard a single thing since then. Sometimes hospitals frick up and insist they’re right. It’s no surprise that they have Janshamekia Jupiter running the claims/billing department.
