Katie, Someone in your doctor's office, a social worker or insurance coordinator or whoever handles such things, should be able to help you with the coding problem. The main issue to make your doctors and hospital aware of your situation. Usually, they're very helpful, because it helps you and helps them get paid as well. My doctor's office was amazing. At the beginning, the financial person said I had enough problems with cardiomyopathy, and they would not send bills, and it would eventually work out. I knew right then I was in the right place, because they cared about me, instead of the money. A year later, she said, "Remember when I told you it would all work out? You now have a balance of $6.60. I paid cash..
Hope this helps; just don't let it interfere with your health.

Thank you for your response. I will keep trying to get help for my medical bills. The issue is the insurance code on my yearly echo. The insurance will not pay on the bill because of how it is coded. I'm worried this will be an ongoing battle.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any resources to help pay medical bills. I love my doctor and my hospital and I believe they deserve all they earn. However, with all the test and appointments I have every year I just cannot afford the bills on my salary. Any ideas would be appreciated!
