Like you're presumably unconscious and at no point ever consent to be liable for the cost, and yet people get billed. It's like if someone just came and did a bunch of work on your house when you were asleep and then sent you a bill.

Getting the bill is one thing. Getting it sent to collections and getting the harassing phone calls is another.

If it was an involuntary hold, keep directing their billing and collection efforts to the entity that initiated the hold.
