I've been struggling to get my evil medical insurance company to pay all of the maternity fees that we were billed recently. They've basically only payed up to a certain amount ($3500), but not paying the full amount (the remaining $2100).
The bill for the obstetric care was $5600, so they are expecting me to pay a $2100 difference! Note that this doctor WAS in-network, so the service should be paid at 100%.
From the research I've done, it generally costs between $5,000-$8,000 for a normal vaginal delivery. So why they are cutting the funds at $3500 is beyond me.
Since something like childbirth is a normal and medically-necessary procedure, could this insurance company be sued for failing to pay the full amount?
And if so, what type of laywer would I need to look into contacting?
