I used to do this for a living. No one cares. Media are not covering it. And the reason OP has to do it is because she has elected to pay her bill with insurance instead of cash. Either way it’s on her to make sure it gets paid.

The New York Times has done several articles on patients coping with catastrophically large surprise medical bills, patient's inability to get billing info from hospitals, patients mistakenly getting out of network treatment that costs them a fortune rather than the in-network treatment they thought they were getting.  There are many media articles about insurance billing horror stories.

But nothing changes, and we pay the most in the world yet have unexpectedly limited health outcomes as a population given the $$$$$ we pay because Republicans scream "socialized medicine" every time anyone tries to change these practices in the favor of patients.[/quote]
