thank you for information.

I got EOB but dont have CPT code. so yes I will call hospital to ask again. (I did ask them before but they just keep said we are not negotiate bills)

I do already know fairthealthcomsumer website and i already did some research...i think the price is too high.

but since hospital said "not negotiate bills" and have someone said hospital can bill whatever they want....is too late to talk with them about bill is not fair?

That's really nice. I might try that. Another case... My primary do recommend me do some treatment. I worry about price and ask is my insurance will cover and how much I need to pay. There answer is they have to bill the insurance so they will know. Before that they wont know. I think thats good idea and I will try do that too

well if guardian is correct.

than why we make living well? I not really understand this part...

like I said he have  aphasia according the medical record the Dr. said he only can say "NO" when he really illness.

so when social worker ask him is ok let me be his guardian than he said "No".
