Beth thanks I might just try the walk into hosp thing..
last time I tried to call hosp billing with questions - they said they cannot discuss it with me and would not respond to any other calls or messages..
makes me think they don't "own" the bill anymore

maybe I will just wait it out - i mean- home is pd for - and we never use credit any way so if they -as she mentioned -use any legal avenues to get the money ...
is that supposed to scare me??
