Jamie Holmes underwent a tubal ligation procedure that her insurance initially agreed to cover, but ended up facing exorbitant bills claiming she had two separate surgeries instead of one.
Despite being assured by her surgeon that the additional endometriosis treatment would cost little, Holmes was billed over $9,600 after her surgery, leaving her feeling confused and frustrated.
The collection agency's lawsuit over the unpaid balance of the medical bill highlighted the complexities patients face in understanding their medical bills and the discrepancies between billed amounts and insurance coverage.
The Pacific Rim Outpatient Surgery Center's billing for a seemingly straightforward procedure raised concerns about transparency in medical billing practices, especially when insurance contracts are involved.
