Who gets the warranty refund on a pacemaker?

Question : Who gets the warranty refund on a pacemaker?
Medtronic sent a credit to the hospital for my pacemaker that was defective and still under warranty. The hospital refuses to send the refund to me, even though they did not credit my bill for the replacement surgery or the replacement pacemaker.

Do you still owe the hospital money?

The refund is sent to whoever purchased that pacemaker from Medtronic – which is likely, the hospital. They turned around and charged you for it, but they originally purchased it. If you have a balance on your account with them, they’re not going to send you any refund for that pacemaker – which, if you didn’t PAY for, should go to your insurance company, anyway.
