Hi Kelly,
That sounds weird! I would be on the phone first thing Monday morning to EBC and the hospital!! Sounds like something is wrong. That makes no sense to me!
Good Luck!

How bizarre!  I agree with Debi...call on Monday!  Besides the letter of bizarreness, how's your band?

Have to love the insurance and hospitals they cant get anything right.  Always have to cause undue stress.  Give them a call.  Good luck. LisaMarie

Sweet heart I would go balistic on them...more power to you!  Be strong do not take NO for an answer!

Definitely call as soon as you can.  My ins. co. did something similar.  When I called, they had all the right info in their computer, and didn't know why I got a letter with wrong info on it.  Just double check.
