A woman on vacation in Arizona had a wild bat fly into her mouth.
Panic ensued. Her father (a physician) rushed her for rabies treatment.
She’d just lost her job and bought insurance that had a 30-day waiting period.
A few weeks later, she received $20,749 in bills from four different providers.
This story reflects something we in the healthcare industry see too often:
⚠️ Patients with partial or no coverage in emergencies
⚠️ Unpaid balances that hurt both patient and provider
⚠️ Surprise bills due to coverage misunderstandings
⚠️ Frustration and appeals that take months
As a medical billing company based in Arizona, we work closely with clinics and hospitals to:
✅ Clarify insurance timelines and coverage
✅ Reduce denied claims and unpaid balances
✅ Improve collections without harming patient trust
Rabies shots may be rare but billing confusion is not.
Let’s build systems that protect both care and cash flow.
