This collection has the same account number but the fall off dates are one month apart. Are they reporting the same bill twice and just separating one bill into two amounts ? Trying to get ducks lined up in a row before calling the hospital or collection agency collecting for them.

Call and ask if unsure.
As for the estimted exclusion dates, those can vary by a month or two, as they are estimated several months prior to the actual, maximum exclusion date, and thus have some flexibility. I would not be concerned with a one month difference.
I understand exclusion dates are flexible but this looks like a double entry to me. The entries are exactly the same, other than the amounts. One bill made into two entries, to mess with a consumer. Hell we don't even remember this visit.
