$11,000 oops

Location: Elgin, IL

the autumn before last, I began running a low grade fever everyday along with deep fatigue and general feeling unwell. this went on for three months.

i saw doctors who all attempted to fix me. one was my former cancer doctor. he advised me to get a full body scan to see if there was any cancer lurking. he told me my insurance company would probably reject his orders and, if they did, I was to call him and he would deal with them if I didn’t get a refusal, I was to assume it was covered and go ahead with the procedure. I did that and nothing was found..

A number of months later, I got a bill for over $11,000. I reached out to my doctor and never heard back. I doubt I have any recourse but, I thought I’d better see for certain before starting a payment plan

thanks for your attention
