My medical insurance covers yearly physicals at 100 %, and I verified XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 's office that the visit on XXXX/XXXX/2013 would be billed as a physical. When the bill was sent, {$250.00} was billed as a physical ( and therefore paid in full by insurance ), and {$130.00} was billed as a " Room Rental Fee '', so it was not covered by insurance. ( Note that this charge was reduced to {$96.00} by a discount for having insurance. ) I never rented a room from XXXX Hospital, nor did I authorize them to charge me to rent a room. The physical was not performed at the hospital, and I was only in a patient room for the couple minutes it took to complete the physical. When I contacted the hospital on numerous occasions to resolve this, they were unwilling to change the coding. My insurance company would have been happy to cover the cost if the bill was coded correctly as a physical. The outstanding bill was turned over to a collections agency, who ceased contacting me when I told them what had happened and that the bill is not mine, but instead a mistake on the hospital 's part. The hospital has now turned this charge over to the credit bureaus, which has hindered my ability to purchase a home as my score dropped by around XXXX points. I am contacting you because as a consumer this is my only course of action to get this problem resolved without involving legal action, which will be my final step if this is not able to fix the error.
