EASTHAMPTON, Mass. —
Claudia Cunningham didn’t recall visiting the hospital, much less having a baby. Nonetheless, she was billed $340 for the delivery at Cape Cod Hospital.
The insurer, Dun & Bradstreet Plan Services of Tampa, Fla., told her that another woman with the same name had a baby on April 30 at the hospital, according to Cunningham, 47. She and her husband already have three children--including their 17-year-old “baby.”
