We had a baby in December of 2003. My wife was released from the hospital after the requisite 2 days, but our daughter had to stay behind to clear up her high jaundice level. We received our $1000 copay bill within the next month. In August of 2004 we received another bill for $1000. After calling the insurance company we were told the file had been reviewed and the hospital was now treating it as 2 seperate admittances. One for my wife's delivery and one for the the babies extended stay. Is there a statue of limitations on how long a hospital has to change they're original claim and does that get passed on to us?
