If the hospital complied with its contract with the insurance company, you don't get any protection from that contract even if the bill was revised upward. You still owe for co-payments, deductibles, and care that was not covered by insurance under your own agreement with the hospital. If you believe that they violated the terms of their agreement with your insurance company as an in-network provider, talk to your insurance company's customer service department.
The bill was paid by myself as well as BCBS any contact with the hospital between 10/15 and 4/17 would have resulted in them stating it was paid. During the month of April 2017 the hospital revised the cost of the services. The insurance covered a portion of the revision and I am now being sued for the difference. MY daughter had a baby in September and the bills got home before she did. In a timely acceptable manner that I happily paid.
My wife once hit a deer in her new dodge neon same situation occurred insurance covered a portion and I covered the rest. Any revision to the original bill a year after the repair would not be acceptable by anyone, so why is it different for a hospital?

I already met all the copayments, deductibles not covered by insurance in 10/15. I paid the bill.
I was given 30 days to respond. How many days does the hospital get, the autobody shop, dry cleaner? There are time limits for everything bankruptcy, statute of limitations, milk. eggs. my life
Seems reasonable to expect any "creditor" to inform the "debtor" of unpaid balances due within a specified time. Doesn't seem reasonable to place me in the status of a debtor after paying a debt and then revising the debt a year later.
Appreciate the help. Easier to just give them the $280 dollars more but I don't believe this is a good way to treat each other. Im out
