medical collections follow-up

I have a couple of medical ca.  i originally sent out pfd's instead of dv for the accounts.  The ca thought these were dv requests, and sent me a bunch of billing statements.  some from the oc on hospital letterhead and some printed up on their letterhead. i've already called the hospitals to see if i could pay them directly, and they told me that i had to contact the ca and that i couldn't pay them.  i sent the dv and received hospital invoices, and listings of all the medical procedures and tests that i had perfomed (from both ca's).  i then faxed a pfd to one of the ca's and got back a letter telling me that i had to call them to discuss payment situations.  is there anything else i can do or what other letter should i send them in this situation.  these charges are co-payments and other miscilaneous charges that my insurance refused to pay. i think some insurance companies limit the amount of money that they are willing to pay for certain services.  so, i guess i'm stuck with the fees, anyways, what further action can i take?

No expert here but-
 
Do a search for WhyChatHippa
 
The CAs may be in violation of medical privacy regs
 
Since you know the OCs, send them the payments, if accepted you can then dispute the CAs
