Ok so I read into it a bit more. Change healthcare happened around that time. Idk if you moved. 3-4 statements is usually what they give.

I'd go back to the hospital and file hospital charity care. 240 days from the date of the first bill is the federal deadline. If that was done at a private imaging center, I would call your insurance and get them to give you access to that EOB. It should go back 2 years but sometimes it doesn't. I'd also make sure your filters are set to date of service instead of processing date.

Anyway, you can do a hipaa request from both the facility and the insurance for the remit/EOB. Was this with contrast by chance? Sometimes they'll pay for the contrast dye but deny the imaging as no PA or something and they have to appeal with medical records showing necessity
