In-state coverage
Works for bills from any Mississippi provider.
Audra audits bills from every major hospital system in Mississippi, including:
If your bill comes from an out-of-state provider, Audra still works — federal protections apply nationwide.
If the provider won't budge
File a complaint with the MS Attorney General.
If your appeal letter doesn't resolve the bill within 30 days, escalate to the Mississippi Attorney General — Consumer Protection Division. They have authority to investigate billing complaints and, in some cases, subpoena provider records.
