OT: Insurance/medical billing help
I am sooo frustrated that this should probably go on the bitching post. But since I'm looking for advice, I'll post it here instead.
The way my insurance is set up, it should cover Logan's IVF cycle 100% (yep, we're still dealing with charges for the conception of a child who is 2.5 weeks old...). The dr's office, however, has not submitted it using the correct codes (they keep on trying to submit it using a bundled code under a contract that my insurance company said does not apply to my plan), so they have not been reimbursed 100% by the insurance company. Now, they just submitted it using more incorrect information to DH's insurance (my secondary) and, not surprisingly, didn't get any money out of them.
I know that somewhere along the way, I probably signed something saying that I would pay any of the charges that our insurance does not pay. But the only reason that our insurance isn't paying is because the dr's office won't submit the charges properly!!
My plan is to call and *try* to talk to a supervisor at the dr's office tomorrow (big corporate type office, so should be *fun*).
Does anyone else have any other suggestions? We can't dispute the claim with the insurance company since they paid based on what was submitted to them. Is there any way to compel the dr's office to submit the claim properly??
TIA!!
