I got hurt at work 2 years ago. My workers comp claim was denied but I was told they were covering my initial visit to the hospital. Great. Fast forward to now, I get a $1700 bill from the hospital. Thankfully, I still have the letter from workers comp insurance stating they were supposed to cover it. I contact them, they say they will cover it. And now the hospital is telling me the workers comp insurance is once again denying to cover it! 🤦‍♀️
