What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Nevada
Bottom line - Its it possible to pay a debt and then sue to get it back?
Details - During a hospital stay a doctor attended me on a day that my regular doctor was off duty. The doctor was not covered by my insurance and her bill to my insurance was denied. Now she is billing me for the $400. i spoke to the hospital and they told me the doctor should not have attended me without checking my files and making sure she was covered by my insurance or at least notifying me of the situation before she treated me. I tried appealing to my insurance but the allowed appeal period is only 180 days and this claim is older than that. I want to go ask the doctor to cancel the charges and would like to know what my options are when I go in to speak to her. If she refuses to cancel my bill can I pay it and then file in small claims to get it back? Or will paying it affect my legal options? If I can't pay it and sue to get it back are there other options that would be worth pursuing over a $400 debt?
Thanks!
