A little background:
In June we traveled to Copenhagen via Brussels. While in the Brussels Airport, my daughter fell and broke her arm (heck of a way to start a trip!). The medical staff at both the airport and hospital were great, and we had to pay a 100 euro deposit at the hospital, which I did using a credit card. So far, so good.
In August, long after we had returned home to the states, the insurance companies finally got done arguing about who owed how much, and we received our final billings from the hospital and ambulance company. I ended up using Western Union to pay the bills, but it was a huge run around at the beginning due to the fact the website allowed the use of a credit card to pay, when it turns out that you are not allowed to make your first payment with a credit card. So, cancel payment, send money from bank, redo payment, hope nobody comes knocking at my door with a baseball bat.
Is there a better method? My bank would not process the forms I was sent from the hospital because they are not allowed to wire money overseas.
