YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMelody Montano did everything right. She had insurance and chose an in-network hospital.
Three years, a lawsuit, a property lien, and thousands of dollars of wage garnishments later, the single mother can’t help but wonder if anyone is looking out for patients like her.
A six-month 9Wants to Know investigation found she’s hardly alone. Surgeons working on-call shifts at various Denver-area hospitals are aggressively trying to collect unpaid bills by placing liens and garnishing wages of former patients.
