1. You were rendered $70 worth of services


You don't konw that as a fact.
The dumbass playing on facebook behind the desk might have simply coded it wrong, so the insurance didn't pay it and that's why you're getting the bill.

Billing mistakes are made all the time, and most people just pay them without question.
I get a check from a doctor probably 3 times a year b/c i overpaid for something. How many other times have i overpaid for something and didn't get that check back? We deal with doctors a lot with my youngest, and the billing is routinely a clusterfrick.

Ok, I'll amend. He was rendered services for a fee that he did not pay. The hospital still sold it for probably about 20% of its value. He still stole from the hospital.

I had a doctor try to bill for labor and delivery of my daughter, outside of our labor and delivery we already paid for. over $11k. He stood in the doorway for 30 seconds and said, "I am here if you need me" as my daughter was coming out.

I got the bill and told them, no way. It took about 6 months for them to stop and realize the mistake. it also went to collections, but was never on any credit report and have never had any issues
