this is why i love my obamacare. i just call the irs and tell them to fuck off and i dont have to pay shit

Ah the perks of being an unemployable pied of shit.

pied of shit? also, i had obamacare when i was employed, cocklover

Aetna....they actually paid their portion. They didn't receive it until 14 months after the fact.

it's now in collections, so I'm not sure what to do, but I don't feel I should have to pay. I'd never to a job and show up 14 months later with an invoice for the first time.

Tell them you paid You have a cancelled check. Number 1329. Get all huffy about it.

If it took them this long to bill you, they must be all screwed up and wont know the difference.

And now you're not employed...because you were fired....again. Weren't you supposed to be sucking dick for drugs in L.A. by now or did you fuck that up too?

Maybe next time, Ike.

just because your dogs wont lick your balls anymore doesnt mean you have to be mean to people

Yes. Timely filing dispute. You should not be responsible for this. The provider needs to prove to the insurance company that it was filed in a timely manner. If they can do this, the insurance needs to process it, and you pay per your deductible / co-insurance. If the provider cannot prove this, they need to write it off.

If you have BCBS, Humana, or Aetna...they are very good at tracking down past claims that were filed.

If you have UHC or a few of the smaller guys...they are more prone to mistakes.

Either way, very unlikely you will need to pay...just will take several phone calls.

I did medical billing for six years.

edit: Unless the insurance documents were not properly provided to the facility. While many hospitals / PCP's do forward insurance info to all facilities, it is not their responsibility. Your ex-wife would have needed to make sure she provided a copy of the insurance card to the facility. This would be the provider's argument if they try to dispute timely filing. You / your ex-wife would then need to contact all the providers involved and make sure someone (your wife or them) provided insurance information.

Does the insurance company even show a coverage / benefits check from this provider a few days before the scheduled procedure?

you would you gay ass beastiality fuck

IMU...or anyone else,

I told the collection firm I wanted to dispute the bill. I also said I would settle it for $300 (current balance states $786.40). We had not heard anything for quite a bit so called the collection firm back for an update. They said since it's in dispute, it goes back to the medial provider and the effort to collect is on hold. Interesting.

Question is....do I just sit on this or wait to hear from the medical provider?
