The law firm of Celentano, Stadtmauer, Walentowitcz, LLP ( " debt collector '' ) has continued to notify me by mail about a medical debt that is incorrectly directed to me ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX NJ XXXX ), as I am not the primary account holder or member name of the group medical insurance policy associated with the false claim, and the claim is baseless as the insurance provider ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) paid the agreed upon rate for this claim, and the hospital ( XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ) is simply abusing the billing process and adding additional out of pocket costs to my family. I have attempted to contact XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX numerous times via phone about this claim to dispute it, but their customer support lines have wait times over over an hour in most cases. I have had email communications with XXXX XXXX XXXX at the above mentioned debt collector, last being XX/XX/2023, explaining the incorrect nature of the two claims ( incorrect person as the member name ( account holder ) of the insurance, and the excess charge for agreed upon rates already collected ). The information and documentation provided by the debt collector clearly shows the discrepancy in the member name as the primary account holder with XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX ). On XX/XX/2023, I received another postal letter from the debt collector, saying a lawsuit will be filed against me no earlier than XX/XX/2023 in regards to this matter. XXXX XXXX

My XXXX daughter was admitted to XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( the `` Provider '' ), a hospital that is in-network with my insurance company ( XXXX ) for observation following an XXXXXXXX XXXX visit. After her discharge, I received a bill for the full cost of the services provided ( {$6200.00} ), without reflecting the agreed-upon rate with my insurer. I was informed by my insurance company that I was not responsible for that amount because I visited an in-network provider. On multiple occasions, I informed the Provider that I was not responsible for the full amount and they should contact my insurance company to properly process any bills. In a joint conference call between myself, the Provider, and a representative from XXXX, the Provider was again informed that they should refrain from sending me balance bills and should instead address any billing issues with my insurer. Once again, the Provider was informed the same in a XX/XX/2022 letter from XXXX. Instead, the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, in violation of their agreement with XXXX, improperly reported the matter to a collections agency, Celentano, Stadtmauer & WalentowiczXXXX XXXX

Hi I was billed around XXXX XXXX for Emergecy services, it was only 2 tablets which I was administrated .Hospital involved was XXXX XXXX in NJ, XXXX . This was on XXXX 2015, I agreed onto a payment plan, then it was given to collection agency. The agency sued me and caused major dip into my credit history. I want to pay this amount to hospital or the collection agency, biggest problem is they do n't have an automated debit system. Every month I have to call them and then make payment. This causes delay or I miss the deadlines in case I am not in the town or country. Please let me know how you can help me and I want to pay this amount. Please help me to restore my credit rating. All my mortgages, credit card payments, bill payments are in time. In last 7 years I have never faced such issue, please check my credit history. The Collection agency is Celentano, Stadtmauer and Walentowicz, LLP XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NJ XXXX Thanks XXXX

The XXXX Hospital asked me to participate in a study related to my XXXX XXXX. I agreed and submitted to an XXXX of my XXXX. The XXXX Hospital never sent me a report on the findings from the XXXX. I repeatedly called and was assured I would get a copy of the report but never did. I still dont know if my XXXX XXXX is stable or not. If it XXXX Ill be dead in about 60 seconds. The XXXX Hospital was paid thousands of dollars by my medical insurance company for the XXXX. They want an additional {$300.00} from me despite never letting me know the results of the XXXX. I believe they are ripping me off and engaging in unfair medical business practices. Celentano, Stadtmauer & Walentowicz is the hospitals debt collector.

To the best of my knowledge and recollection this hospital bill for a two hour outpatient procedure was paid in full. My medical insurance carrier paid tens of thousands and I paid hundreds. This comes out of nowhere. I have no documentation indicating there is a balance due.
