What is the name of your state? CA
I'm having an odd problem. Over a year ago now, I went in for a routine checkup and they ran some routine tests at a new doctor. They took my insurance information and in fact, did bill my insurance for two return visits I made. I wasn't happy with the doctor so I moved on to someone else.
All of a sudden, I get a bill for $400 for the visit a year ago. I had not had any other contact with the doctor in the year since, now they're claiming it's 120+ days past due (well obviously, they waited a year to send me anything). Since I already paid my co-pay for the visit, the rest of it is something they need to bill the insurance for. Unfortunately, they show no interest in billing the insurance, probably because they'd have to explain why they were so stupid that they forgot to bill it a year ago.
Ideas? I'm tempted to tell them to sue me so they can stand up in court and explain to the judge why they're so stupid.
Thanks.
