You paid them?! aargh... rant... hate hospital accounting. They give more than a 50% discount to insurance companies, so they fed you a line of rot. Not only that but you only have to pay them $5 or $10 a month toward the bill and they can't touch you. Sounds like the hospital goons put a heavy hand on you.
