Who called from 4042503011

Yes it is really NOrthside Hospital in Atlanta Ga billing dept. It is not the collection agency, but really the actual hospital billing. They called me first to collect after about 2 months. I didnt recevie a paper statement, anywho. A single CT body with contrast cost me $1200 for technical component only. THe radiologist(MD) charges separately like $500. I think its kinda steep for $1700 for a CT body with contrast. Market value is about $800. I didnt try, but one should negotiate.

This is Northside.  They are in-network for my insurance co.  My ins. paid what their contract with Northside dictated - a much lower amount than the total bill.  Now Northside is trying to collect from me the difference.  This is illegal but the fine is so low that they don't care if they get caught.  Enough people pay to make it worthwhile.

When I picked up, I got a message "Thanky you for calling ... please hold."  I hung up.

Got repeated robo calls from this number with a message demanding we call them back.  I finally do, to discover that it is Northside Hospital calling about a CURRENT bill.  They admitted that the bill they were calling about was not past due and that it is their business practice to start harassing their customers for payment as soon as they receive payment from the insurance company.  

When I asked how to lodge a complaint against this practice I was given the name of Bradley Holt, supposedly director of the business office.  This is his email [email protected].  This may or may not be correct information as he did not respond to my email.

This is the Northside business office. They called me two days after I received my bill. I asked why they were calling since the bill was clearly not past due. His response "would you like to clear this up with a debit or credit card right now"?
