...that I "had to wrestle with the insurance company for months". Or that it ever required more than one phone call. Fact is, I'm far too good at what I do for that to have to happen. What I did say was that ONE insurance company would make me argue the point, but ultimately they backed-down every time.

Look, I'm glad that you were able to resolve your problem by going through the hospital. Having been involved in actually having to DO the collections for these very types of physician's groups in varying capacities for years, my experience has been that going to the folks who are ultimately going to have to cut the checks is more efficient. YMMV.
