The lien on Donna and Gary Lindabury's home for a 2009 heart surgery debt was among 11,500 wiped away by Atrium Health after an NBC News report.
Less than a week after NBC news reported the aggressive way the company went after collecting debts, placing liens on their homes. How strange they suddenly reversed this?
When we were uninsured more than twenty years ago, my wife went to an emergency room with horrendous internal pain, waited three hours to see a doctor who prescribed extra-strength Pepto-Bismol and missed what we later learned was the obvious diagnosis of gallstones. The bill was a bit more than three grand.
Are you in the US? 6,500 sounds low for 7 days in the hospital.
My share was $6,500. Once I hit that, insurance covered 100%.
Annual out of pocket maximum.
Nice. That’s not terrible for American insurance. I’ve had worse.
Yeah, truly.
