Re: My insurance is the worst !!!

DO NOT pay that until you've investigated. As an HR professional who handles a LOT of benefit claims I NEVER pay the first bill. They send that out I swear just to see if you'll pay it. It's almost never right. Call them, and if you're not satisfied have your benefits team speak to your account rep. That's just ridiculous!!

Speak with your HR person to take care of it! It is possible it wasn't 'coded' right, or the insurance company didn't get information on why it was necessary.

Yes, all excuses i've heard from my insurance company.

It is possible that they didnt submit it to the insurance company...Do you have your EOBs from your insurance company saying that they didnt pay the bill and why??? I had an issue and it was b/c the lab didnt put the correct diagnostic code on some form and the insurance company denied the claim. If you dont have the EOB call the insurance company and see if they have a claim for the date of service from that lab..

Its an explaination of benefits. Your insurance should send one out with each claim.

Re: My insurance is the worst !!!

What insurance do you have? That's crazy - they have to send you an EOB. It shows what was covered, what was paid to what date it was done to submitting.

Argh! Nothing like getting nowhere. Well good luck. I would talk to someone in your HR group or someone who handles your benefits.
