I always get confused when a statement arrives from our Health Insurance Co. - Health Net PPO
So here's an eg and some questions, if someone could please explain I will be very grateful.
Billed Amount was $76.10
Non Allowed was $43.10
Allowed amount was $33 of that, Health Net paid $30 and said I might be billed for $3.
There was no co-pay, this was blood tests.
So, my question. Can the lab bill me for the non-allowed ($43.10) and my part of the allowed ($3)? If they do, do I have to pay the non-allowed amount, or can I argue that it's more than Health Net contracts - I do know I've signed those forms at Dr's office that say you will be responsible if your Health Insurance won't pay - do those forms mean you have to pay the non-allowed?
Thanks for any help. After 5 years of living here, you would think I've figured this out by now.
