Private equity hospitals have taken to bringing in contractors for everything as a workaround for private health insurance's per-procedure/per-visit billable maximum, and the result is a completely unmanageable mess of bills completing processing over the course of several months, all coming from different billing agencies, some of which don't even look legitimate.
After an ER visit, for the next month, you'll get dozens of letters from things like "Acme Imaging Consultants" or "Integrated Health Specialists, LLC" for "Medical Care" or something similarly vague. There will be a really sketchy bill pay site or a number for a call center with any questions, and the letter itself will be so unprofessional that it might as well be in comic sans. It will be a ton of odd amounts due, with no real explanation, and the best you can do is trace through your insurance claim history and look for cleared amounts in the 20 pages of claims for the year matching up with the amount due.
If you go to one place on one day for treatment, you should get one consolidated bill. Itemized, but all in one billing statement. Even if the hospitals just require their contractors to submit through them rather than directly to the patient. I really don't think that that is too much to ask.
