      I just remembered this thread because now, 8 months later, I was just refunded over 2 grand.
      
      Make it make sense.

      Never heard back about the $500 that was sent to debt collections that started this quoted thread. Still pretty sure that hospital owes me $500.
      
      Did ask insurance and the 2nd hospital about the $4,500 bill in the quoted post. Both said it was correct. Paid it. A month later, I was refunded a grand.
