i'm not sure it's worth it to call and bitch people out more, or if it's worth the stress of trying to get kaiser to pay it, and then maybe they won't, or whatever, but it's a lot of unsettled stuff.
my first choice is to pay it, but my second choice is to get kaiser to do it. bc if you don't mind the uncertainty, then you may as well give it a try. bc if they end up paying for it, awesome.
that's kinda what I'm thinking... I'm also just kinda worried that the more bills I send the more they will look and notice I'm not covered... and I'd rather get stuck with the $470 than the one that has another 0!
Speaking from my past experience, I'd just pay it. In my case it was three different bills that got sent to collections...that I didn't find out about until over a year later when I was perusing my credit report, as they also didn't write down or research my address correctly. It came out to about $700, but after trying to get one doc to even contact my old insurance, I figured simply having it out of the way, off my report, and never having to deal with it again was a better alternative.
When I talked to the collections people I just explained each time how they had never sent me the bill, and I just wanted to take care of it. One of them was nice enough to remove it from my report completely.
Well since they got my name nad address wrong, and I did have a valid and correct driver's license with me, I doubt having any insurance stuff would have really helped.
The kaiser was through family, and so technically expired when out of college or when I turned 24, which ever came first. I think at the crash I was only in the "out of college" part. But still... I could verify this, but it means emailed the exstepdad. Oh well, guess the possible $5500 makes that email maybe worth it.
