What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Hi I went to sign my daughter up for an appointment with my son's pediatrician (she has never been seen there) And they informed me that I owed them $181 form 2 yrs ago when she was born I do not remember talking to any other pediatrician other then hers when she was born however I was covered by Blue Cross Blue Shield and they say that they filed claims with them at the time but they were denied. The insurance company has no record of this.
Turns out that the doctors office had my insurance number wrong, the insurance said they can file a claim and be denied due to the 180 day rule but they can then file an appeal stating that they had my insurance number wrong, I told the doctors office this and they told me it's not their responsibility anymore and that I have to pay it.
What are my rights? Do I still have to pay even though I had insurance at the time? I feel like it's not my fault they got the number wrong, it's like they don't want to do their job and go through the steps of filing a claim 2 yrs later with an appeal.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
