Medical bills seem to be the worst and hardest to get cleared up. Especially when you've got some many hands working on it. A simple code error made at a doctors office or hospital seems to be the end of the world to insurance companies.

In the last year and a half, I've had over 16k in medical bills sent to me after sustaining a major injury to my lower spine while at work.

Between insurance, Workman's comp, and disability insurance, all should have been taken care of. However, I'm still dealing with bills going back to last year. It got so bad we ended up hiring a lawyer to help us straighten out things and even he hasn't been able to get everything taken care of.

Funny thing is part of the lawyer practice is collections related. He's even frustrated at how difficult it's been to get this mess taken care of.

But I bet it doesn't change the way his office handles collections.......sometimes the lawyers' offices are among the worst offenders.
