Anyone here gone through surprise medical bill after insurance?

Has anyone dealt with something like this? I'm not sure what my options are.

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 consulted briefly with a lawyer but the other party is not cooperating.

What are the risks if I pursue this? What's the likely timeline?

Ngl i spent way more time googling than I should have before just calling a lawyer.

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

In my case, it took about 3-6 months to resolve. The key was having everything documented fwiw.

Following this thread — Commenting so I can find this later. Very relevant to my situation.
