Now, I get bills almost every day for differing amounts from their surgery center, their eye center and they are threatening to send me to a collection agency. Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks, Karen
I would call them and ask if they have billed Medicare and BC/BS. I have the same ins and they paid it all. If unsure check with BC/BS (the easier of the 2 to get thru to)
