What would you do if you get a $49 million bill from a hospital? Well, thousands of people in Arizona did. I hope not many people had to be taken back to hospital due to heart attack! But of course that was due to computer error.Hundreds of people who were treated at a southern Arizona hospital received exorbitant medical bills as high as $49 million because of a computer error.
A malfunction in new computer software occurred July 2 and affected statements for 587 patients who were treated at Northern Cochise Community Hospital in Willcox, said Kim Aguirre, director of patient financial service for the hospital.
“The highest statement is $49 million,” Aguirre said. “I can’t wait to hear from that person.”
Peta-Anne Tenney received a bill for more than $100,000.
“I just laughed,” she said. “I said to (my husband), ‘Look at this, this is a doozy.”
They told that the corrected statements would be arriving to the people within 10 working days.
