What is the name of your state? Virginia
This is for a claim submitted to Delta Dental. (I hope this is the correct section for this question. My apologies if not.)
My daughter received braces on 5/29/2003. The orthodontists bill was 1390.00 which we paid in monthly installments to him for 1 year. After completion of these payments, we submitted a claim in Sept, 2004 to Delta Dental since we had a 50% co-pay for this service. Delta Dental responded with:
"Processing Policy Explanation: 18 - Payment disallowed because of late submission. Claims should be filed within 12 months of date of service."
I find this unacceptable. 50% of 1390.00 is 695.00. Do I have any recourse? And if so, will it be worth my while?
Thanks in advance.
Michael
