re: **updated Need advice on how to address ER visit bill

I'm no expert on this but I have had a few procedures /ER visits for my wife/kids. I've seen my insurance(which is a Blue) deny several charges as double charges, unnecessary and incorrect code. To me it appeared they were double submitting the same code. When I called the provider they said they appeared double because they had to find the correct code. In summary according to the online EOB I was owing like $3,000 on this last round but I ended up paying like $400.

You may just want to wait until the hospital billing finishes going back and forth with your insurance. You'll get bills and then you can call them and straighten it out if there even is a problem.

Provider/insurance company billing procedures are suspect at best to me.
