How do I get an post hospital therapy institute to write me a letter stating that I do not owe an additional bills which I am being dunned for by a health collection agency
Have you already paid the bill in full or do you believe the bill is incorrect?
bill was paid by medicare and supplemental insurance .
Have you contacted the therapy institute about this issue and informed them about the payments made by Medicare and your supplemental insurance?
I have called them over and over to tell this company TeamHealth that these are bogus charges.....and the bills keep coming....the charges they say I owe change over time...first they go way up and then they have dropped
Have you requested a detailed bill from TeamHealth to verify the charges?
In Kansas, you have the right to dispute a bill and request validation of the debt.
they have sent very unscrupulous 'Bills" and in tiny type they say I didn't have medicare nor supplemental insurance so they didn't send these thru.
Have you sent a written dispute to TeamHealth about these charges and informed them about your Medicare and supplemental insurance coverage?
In Kansas:
- You have the right to dispute a bill in writing.

No...I am still just dealing with the original therapy institution...as each time I call them...they say they are taking care of it and calling them but nothing seems to change.
Have you considered sending a written dispute to the therapy institution as well, detailing your Medicare and supplemental insurance coverage?
I want a letter FROM them to the bogus collection people.
Have you tried formally requesting this letter from the therapy institution in writing, detailing your situation and the steps you've taken so far?
I have called and called.there doesn't; seem to be access to write to them that gets thru.
Have you tried sending a certified letter to the therapy institution? This method provides proof of delivery and can be a more effective way to communicate your dispute.
