Bottom line it took almost a year to get reimbursed from my insurance company. They told me that they never received the bills from the hospital. The hospital would tell me that the bills were sent out to the insurance company. What a run around. Basically, there was no incentive for the hospital to help me as I was from out of the country and the hospital was paid the night I left. A word to the wise, be very carefull. It could take a long time until you are reimbursed. </font>
What a mess...and I realize these things happen. But whether the hospital had any incentive to help you or not, it may still have taken a long time. And in the meantime, the hospital may have begun hassling you for payment.
Do you think that being from another country could have added to the insurance mess?
