If a lay person needed to fight $20k in out of pocket medical bills, what would be the best approach? My partner has a total of $12k from around 8 different medical providers and my son has $8k in medical bills from 4 providers. All within the past 12 months. Needless to say, there is over 50 EOB between the 2 of them. I would love to hire someone like you if possible.

Start with your insurance policies. Does it look like they were covered appropriately per what your policy states? Get itemized billings from the medical providers and check the COT codes and descriptions against what happened at the visit. Get the records if necessary to compare documentation against what was billed. Call the medical provide and ask questions. Call the insurer and ask questions. That’s where I’d start.
