What is the name of your state? West Virginia
I have two questions regarding health insurance.
1) A few months ago a family member got billed from the pediatrician for $300 some dollars. This money was the co-payment (80-20 insurance). So far so good. The ped. refused to accept monthly payments of $25, saying that was "unsatisfactory". Is there any law that deals with making payments for health bills not covered by insurance?
2) Today I recevied a bill from the same ped. for work done to my son. I became suspicious about this due to the fact that I never received an EOB from the insurance company. So I called the insurance company and they have no record of the bill being submitted. Is it legal to bill me WITHOUT billing the insurance co.? Note that this isn't a rejection of payment, the ins. co. never received the bill.
Thanks,
BD
