Question

I just recently got a notification that a medical account in my name was sent to collections. After further evaluation it was from a time that I went to the ER and here is what happened: 
 
I was super sick one time and decided to stay at my parents house. I’ll skip the symptoms. My parents decided it would be best to take me to the ER. We got there and we sat for two hours. All we did was check in and wait amongst others. There was no triage (although there should have been become some waiting were in terrible shape). Anyways, once the third hour came around my mom decided to take me back home since it was almost morning at this point. We left and went to an urgent care later on.  
 
Anyways, the hospital is saying they did a Flu A and Flu B swab that supposedly came back negative. However, either I or my parents would remember if one was done and we do not. Matter of fact my parents were so mad that we weren’t even acknowledged that we ended up leav

An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for four weeks. You could contest the charges, raising the argument you make here. But that could sometimes be a difficult argument to make after the matter has escalated to the collection stage and the facility has properly coded bills and they claim that their earlier efforts were not acknowledged. If you are unable to come to a resolution, based on the amount of the bill, you could look into a brief consult with a collection defense attorney for their input. Good luck
