A few years ago, my daughter broke her arm. I started receiving letters from insurance saying "we are not paying for this.. and that....". Then I started receiving collection letters for "those" things.
I made some calls to find out what was going on, and the bills from the hospital were FULL of fraudulent charges. Tests that were unnecessary, doctors who weren't there, all kinds of things. The insurance company was fully aware of this (it apparently happens ALL THE TIME) and refused to pay any of it. So the fraud charges were delivered to me.
When I called the hospital to ask about it, they said something like "oh yeah, that happens all the time" and reversed the charges right on the spot.
Forget complaining to them. They know what they are doing. Write to your representatives instead. This is a crime. I should have gone to the police, I don't know why I didn't.
Be vigilant!!!!

Nice report.
Thank you for the benefit of your superior experience !
I will exert some self control now, and think this over before I respond.

Why not just call the hospital's billing department?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

My thoughts at this moment are to go and make a personal visit.
This is Friday, and there are three more hours left in the day.

Google everything, before replying, because it may be a scam.

My thanks for your input, and all others in this thread.
Exactly how they could get that info; I wonder; but then, well, I suppose if I were of that ilk I could figure out such a scheme in a month or two.
You guys are making sense about the possible scam.

Sheepish police blur faces of lambs at centre of alleged rustling - BBC News[^]
That's OK though, Griff was still able to identify all three of them. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I always meant to ask...
Is it a Wales thing or are you a sheep farmer? Seriously. If I had to guess, based on year's of posts and comments that people have made about you and sheep, I would say that Wales is the land of magical sheep. Is any of this accurate?
Nevermind, decided to Googly instead: How does a Welshman find sheep in long grass? : Jokes[^] Not all is SFW - be warned.

In a world where Google's StreetView blurs the colonel's face on KFC signs, I suppose that's fair.

One of my unit tests uncovered 5 different errors in my underlying code before it finally passed. Clearly I am going senile in my old age...

That is why I always say "You never know until you test!" 
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

I think it's more scary when you don't catch any errors on a first try. Because there has to be at least one. Somewhere.
