I got a letter from Grant & Weber that says that I owe a medical bill for $114.00. (I thought my insurance company paid it). The letter said if I pay it , they will not report me as as being in collection. I obviously want to pay it but should I pay the hospital directly and send them a copy of the check or should I send the check directly to Grant and Weber?
Do you have an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) letter from your insurance that says what they paid and what you owe? I am still a newbie, but I say send the validation letter to the CA (postponing any negative credit marks) while contacting the hospital directly and find out if you can pay them; pulling the account away from the 3rd party. They will probably allow you to make payments, if need be.
