Woo hoo! Hospital letter worked!

pea-kay · January 2009

Okay, so this goes a way back...it's kind of a boring story, too, but if you remember, I was about to get screwed by the hospital where the boys were delivered, because they lost our financial aid application. So I wrote this (I have to admit) awesome letter to the CEO of the hospital.

I got a call from the financial services dept, and they said to resubmit the application. FINALLY (after it got lost in the mail AGAIN), I heard back, and they're cutting our bill in HALF! I really honestly never expected that. We originally owed $4500 and now we only have to pay back $2250. (I say "only", because I have no idea where we're going to get $2250, but it's better than $4500!)

Woo hoo! And thanks again to Linda for giving me the letter idea.

That is a really great letter! I'm glad to hear it worked - it kind of restores my faith a little bit in the hospital industry!

I hope I'm not stepping on any toes (I'm not even married but love looking over here), but OP your full name and phone number are listed at the bottom of the letter you linked in your post. Again, I mean no harm--just thought you should know.
