How was I going to come up with the money??

A month ago I had to go to the hospital for 2 1/2 weeks. Well I just got a bill from the hospital for $1500 that I wasn't expecting! I don't have $1500 just sitting around, so I started getting really worried about how I was going to come up with the money.

I checked my BCBS statement to find out what hadn't been paid for, and it indicated that none of the Doctors bills were paid for during the second week I was in the hospital, but the first week and the last week was paid for. I called BCBS (the person on the phone was very helpful!) and was told that the insurance forms indicated I was home during the second week (someone filled out the insurance forms wrong!). The person from BCBS told me to have the Doctors office resubmit the paperwork for the insurance, and that everything will be covered.
