This started as a billing error at the hospital. I went to see XXXX XXXX XXXXbecause I literally felt like XXXX. My Uncle had recently been hospitalized for XXXX XXXX and I had been to visit him at the same time he contracted the virus. I fell illshortly after and went to my primary care because I was afraid I had it too. 
XXXX XXXX coded this visit with him as a " routine visit ''. My husband is a XXXX veteran and I have XXXX insurance. XXXX denied the claim becausethey told me the claim was coded wrong. I informed the hospital. Not only did I bring acopy of my explanation of benefits to them in person, but I made over 10 calls to variousoffices trying to get them to code the visit properly. This was anything but a " routine visit ''. 
Feeling like I have west nile virus is not a " routine '' thing. 
The hospital and XXXX XXXX 's office sometimes were polite about the matter. They evenclaimed two times they changed it, but they kept submitting the same medical code toXXXX who kept denying the claim because they do not cover " routine visit '' claims. 
Then I got a nasty call from a collections lady saying this would be going to collections. Afew months later I got a letter from " The Credit Bureau of XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX Counties ''. The letter is dated XXXX/XXXX/2015 and it says I have 45 days to pay in full orthey will report this to the Credit Reporting Agencies. 
I do not owe this amount. This is a billing error. The hospital has failed repetedly to correcttheir mistakes. They even told me in person it was a mistake and that they would fix it. Thishas been dragging out for almost a year now. I want this to end and for them to bill myinsurance properly. This is no way to treat the wife of an honorably serving XXXX veteran.
