    There is an appeal system for cases like this. Like this specific case is an easy appeal, if they denied this after appeal then a lawsuit could take them to the bank.

    Also, the Hospital won’t discharge them even if it doesn’t get paid on time.

      Yeah, not like there’s any urgency to the situation /s

      A lawsuit isn’t the same as your loved one surviving.

        There is actually no urgency to this specific case. This patient will demonstrably not delay their own care for fear of debt.

        Less than a single percentage of denied claims get appealed, a lot of people apparently don’t even know the option is available.
