re: Medical Billing has gone mad

Finally get a nice woman on the phone, who at first wouldn't let me actually pay the bill because my wife was listed as the guarantor. She finally agrees to accept my payment if I can verify us. She asks me a bunch of verification questions on my wife's info, which I know all of the answers. Finally, she says, ok, I'll take your payment over the phone, and it's handled.

This makes no sense. Someone else can’t pay your bill?

I could walk into a bank and pay off my best friends mortgage tomorrow if I wanted to and I promise they wouldn’t reject it
