After a car accident, you may visit the emergency room to get checked out and receive treatment for your injuries. What many people don’t realize is that you may receive several separate medical bills for that one visit.
What Bills Should You Expect?
Depending on the treatment you receive, you may receive bills for:
- Emergency Room or Hospital Bill: Covers the hospital’s facility charges and services.
- Physician’s Bill: Covers the emergency room doctor’s evaluation and treatment.
- Radiology Bill: If you receive X-rays, CT scans, or other imaging, you may receive a separate bill from the radiology provider.
Why Are There So Many Different Bills?
One of the most frustrating parts of medical billing after a car accident is that different providers often bill separately. You might receive one bill in the mail, another from a physician’s billing company, and another that you weren’t expecting. In some cases, an unpaid bill may even be referred to a collection agency.
Unfortunately, these providers don’t always communicate with one another, leaving you to sort through the paperwork while trying to recover from your injuries.
