Merchants name: Monmouth Medical, Riverview Medical, LCA LabCorp, Care Centric Inc

Bank of America: the deceased (Tammy Lee McGee - passed 10 April 2018), MEDICAL AFFORDABLE CARE ACT RELATED claims to account ending in 2017 ARE INPROPER PROCEDURE DUE TO THE FEDERAL AFFORDABLE CARE ACT REQUIRING FEDERALLY MANDATED INSURANCE TO ADJUST THE BILL CENTRALLY AS TO NOT EXCEED OUT OF POCKET MINIMUM.

DECEASED FEBBLU ACCOUNT NUMBER: 0886055826I17347483

Additionally, any bills whatsoever made to the deceased account exceed the deceased Affordable Care Act’s Out Of Pocket Minimum of $5,000.00

If Bank of America enforces these claims, it is aiding and abetting third party medical vendors circumvent procedures established by the Federal Affordable Care act and is acting as a collection agency.
We ask Bank of America to cease and desist in acting as a collection agency for Care Centrix Inc, Monmouth Medical, Riverview Medical, and LCA LabCorp.

Individual medical vendors are not able to ascertain when the billed party has met or exceeded the out of pocket minimum – in this case: $5,000. To date, the deceased bills have totaled $86,729.80 that is $81,729.80 over the deceased total out of pocket minimum established by Federal Affordable Care Act rule of law.

BANK OF AMERICA – PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DECEASED ACCOUNT HOLDER OF THE ACCOUNT ENDING in 2504 FEDERAL INSURANCE PROVIDER IS CONTACTING ALL MEDICAL VENDORS DIRECTLY TO ADDRESS CHARGES SUBMITTED BY: Monmouth Medical / Riverview Medical / LCA Lab Corp of America
