Reply #5: I have never received a completely accurate hospital bill... [View All]

[youthere]

I've had three kids...and all the billing for each of the three births were incorrect. Between my husband, myself and my three kids we've had a total of nine surgeries and found errors on all the billings for those. I think the most outrageous was when I was billed for amoxicillin for my youngest child when she had her tonsils removed. I told them that my child did not receive amoxicillin and they argued with me. I told them if they administered amoxicillin to my child they should prepare to be sued because she is highly allergic to it (as they will see from the warnings displayed on her medical chart and the medalert bracelet she wears at all times) and they could have killed her. They promptly removed the charges. ALWAYS check your hospital bill and demand an itemization.
