If you really are clueless why certain bills are showing up, call the number listed and ask "Who, what, why?" Be polite and just ask for clarification and you should be able to get answers.

***This next bit is assuming a general situation vs your specific case***

If you do end up with a massive bill after your insurance company has done their best to reduce the bill to contracted rates and paid out their portion, most billing companies (that I have dealt with) are willing to set up affordable payment plans. After my wreck, I ended up with a good chunk owed cause I had lousy insurance and a low paying job. I talked with the company, explained I was willing to pay the bill, and we negotiated a low monthly plan for me. Took a couple years, but got it paid off.

I been part of this forum for like 2 years now but haven't returned since the accident. My god, talking to you guys makes me feel sad that I didn't just come to talk to you all before. geez you guys just make sense :/. Ill call today .. you guys are making me realize how talking to people who have knowledge in something your having problems with, should be done as early as possible. thanks
