Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

surprise medical bill after insurance. I've been dealing with this for about 4 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but did not get a clear answer.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under the relevant statute. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct actionable.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.
