About Tricia
Expertise
Has your medical insurance company denied your claim and refuses to pay? Have you received a pre-authorization and still your insurance company refuses to pay? How can you get your insurance company to reverse a denied claim? How do you get a provider to waive your copayment if you are financially unable to pay? Can a provider sue you for a unpaid bill and will they? Can a provider send me to a collection agency for a medical bill? If my insurance company does not pay, am I responsible? If you have these questions or others on why your insurance company is not paying your bills, I can help. I can give you "tricks of the trade" to get your insurance company to pay. I have limited knowledge on Medicare and Medicaid and that is not my expertise. Each state is very different regarding Medicare and Medicaid so you need to review their website when you have questions. So please no Medicare or Medicaid questions!!

Experience
In the medical field for over 20 years spending majority of time in the collections aspect.

Medicare, Medicaid, Insurance, HMO problems - Billing 2 insurances for one visit


Expert: Tricia - 10/2/2008

Question
We have a patient that the doctor sees for both her BWC issue and her health issues.  She comes in for one OV.  Can I bill both BWC and her health insurance for an E/M visit for the same day (different DX codes for each insurance)?

Answer
Hi Judy!

I would think so---------as long as you are providing a different service for each carrier.  If the patient is having only one treatment than you can not.  That would be considered double billing.   You just can not charge two carriers for the same procedure.
