Contractor Dispute — surprise medical bill after insurance

I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

surprise medical bill after insurance. I've been dealing with this for about 7 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but the other party is not cooperating.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.
