What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?North Carolina
I am a state employee with the state health plan.....BCBSNC.
In January 2006 i received stiches and a tetnus shot in an urgent care facility. I never received a bill. This did not seem unusual because the insurance plan at that time covered emergency care with a $50 co-pay.
Today , March 2,2009 (more than 3 years later) I have received a bill and a threat that if I did not pay immediately they would seek legal action.
Is this legal? Is there a statute of limitations on billing?
