Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.
surprise medical bill after insurance. I've been dealing with this for about 4 months now and the situation isn't improving.
I have already tried to resolve this directly but did not get a clear answer.
Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?
Have you tried reaching out to your state's attorney general? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.
Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.
This is a common situation and the law is fairly clear. Under the relevant statute, actionable.
The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.
Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.
In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.
