Last year I was in the hospital for three days and they started assuming it was Covid related because I had tested positive and been sick a few weeks prior to the incident that had me in there. They probably billed the government for Covid because I only received a much smaller bill than I should have been hit with, even with insurance.
Same here.. I got ZERO bills for my appendix because I had covid.
I was hospitalized for a heart issue and waited an entire day with nothing going on but heart monitoring because they had to assume I was Covid positive until tests proved I was not. Had absolutely no symptoms.
When the bill arrived, $18,000 of it had been “written off”. Assume they billed my Uncle....you know, Sam..the one with the credit problems.
