When I lived in Indiana last year I received my yearly mammogram. I always got my yearly done since I have had a history of benign turmors.
When the radiologist looked at it they found a lump they just wanted to keep an eye on so they told me to come back in 6 months and be checked again to see if there is any change.
I did as I was told & luckily was told everything was alright and to come back next year for my regular exam. I was shocked to receive a bill from the hospital for over $700 for the second mammogram. In a phone conversation with the billing dept at the hospital they told me the first mammogram was paid as always but the second one was not since it was done before the 1st anniversary of the previous one. I tried to explain to them what happened and that I was TOLD to come in for that test. From there I had the same conversation with our insurance company (thru my husband's employer) and argued the same point with them to no avail.
Since then I have been turned over to collection and now am on a payment plan of $40 a month for the next 1 1/2 years!!! I HATE making that payment every month as I still feel as I did was what I was told to do by the doctor's hospital.
I now feel that I will NEVER get another mammogram ever! I will never let this happen again. Please HELP! Do I really owe this?????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????
