What is the name of your state? Ohio where services took place
I just received a letter from a collection agency stating I owe money for a service over two years ago (Nov. 2002). I received a bill from the service provider in Dec. 2002, and they then filed the claim with my insurance company. I never heard again from the service provider. In Dec. 2003 we moved out of state, and I now have a different insurance provider.
The collection agency sent me the nasty gram on Nov. 30, 2004 stating I owe for this service, and they do not mention if they ever got paid by the insurance company (but I'm assuming not) or if it was even filed and/or denied. As I no longer even have this insurance provider, I am at a loss as how I should follow up this claim.
Do I owe this service provider if they didn't provide me timely notice that my insurance company denied the claim? How do I get my former insurance company to review the claim? What is the statue on how far companies can go back and bill you?
Thanks in advance for any advice or direction provided!
