    On 11/23/2021, my 5-year old daughter be was rushed to the ************* Emergency Room in ******* with head injury but according to the ** doctor, due to the advanced care she might've needed which was unavailable at *************, she needed medevac to ************************ in ********, which took place via Hawaii Life Flight (under Guardian Flight). Among the thousands in medical payments to the various entities, Hawaii Life Flight received over $33,000 in payments for that one short flight. Yet, they proceeded to send additional bills of thousands of dollars to my home, ignoring my multiple attempts to get details on the additional charges or the authorization from me (parent) to bill me these amounts, specifically asking for their Authorized Billing Application. I spoke with their customer service representatives on many occasions throughout 2022, requesting that information but they continued to stall me, with apparent intent to send their bill to their debt collection agency, ***********************************************. I believe it unfair and deceptive to ignore me and to force exuberant charges to debt collection despite my requests.
