lkc, thank you for this information. I do have 60 days from receipt of denial to appeal. I received the denial around September 25; therefore, I am within that time frame. The provider's office manager is also appealing via telephone, but I will insure that something IN WRITING will go somewhere before deadline. This is one of the good insurance companies that is usually very responsive and very good about doing the "right" thing. My credit is perfect and, if it meant paying the full bill, I would do so to ensure it remains perfect; however, I don't think it will come to that. The provider is not claiming any overdue amounts; according to them the account is current. Nor are they asking me, at this point, to pay anything. I will request on Monday that she get me written documentation from their billing company that the claim was previously denied because of lack of coverage. As you said, I never received those denials. Unfortunately, had they just called me when the claim was first denied (last November), this thread wouldn't exist.
Thanks for your input.
