I recently saw a question that asked: I got billed from the hospital for 3000, the insurance said 1000 was eligible, and that 900 would be paid. All agreed that this individual would need to pay 100 because the hospital billed 3000, but the insurance only allowed 1000 and thus, the hospital had to contractually write-off the 2000.
I have a bill from the hospital, for ease, we will say for 2000. The insurance allowed 1500 and is paying 1300. But the hospital is asking me to pay 700. I don't understand, doesn't the hospital have to contractually write-off the 500?
