AboutTricia 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.
Question Can my provider bill me for something I am personally appealing with my insurance?
Answer Hi Brenda!
Yes they can but usually as a courtesy they will hold off until you get an answer from your insurance company. It would be nice for them to give you some extra time but they do not have to.
Perhaps call them and tell them you are appealing with your carrier and ask them if they would put your account on hold until you hear back from your appeal. Sometimes all you have to do is ask.
