I don't have insurance and shop around. I asked the hospital how much it would cost for a prolactin & thyroid test & VP. They said $300-odd minus 20% if I paid in full that day. I had them clarify and they did: it wasn't a quote, but the real price. I paid upfront and got 20% off. I got a bill 2 weeks later for $700, and another one after that for an additional $450. They now say that it was a quote and that they kindly gave my name to Cardon Health Insurance so I could get CHI to pay the bill. CHI's robot is now calling me every other day to get me to sign up with their insurance. Is this a violation of my HIPAA rights? Do I have to pay the rest of the bill? They acknowledge my file says I got 20% off--only possible if I paid in full. They said it's their mistake, but my problem.
