$10,000 Hospital Bill Adds Insult to Injury for COVID-19 Patient

It’s been nearly a month since Will Horn was released from JPS Hospital. In the weeks since, Horn said the body aches, fever, fatigue, and struggle for air has slowly disappeared. In their absence, he’s noticed something else surface… the medical bills. A spokesperson from John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth told NBC 5 that the hospital is not charging people for COVID-19 treatment. On every JPS bill sent to patients is a phone number to call for questions. Those with questions about a bill, or who feel like the bill is a mistake, are asked to call that number.
