can a medical office/ hospital bill me after 2 1/2 years?

Answer 1

If the services were rendered then I suppose they can. I'm surprised however that they never passed that over to a debt collection agency. Perhaps the fees are a mistake of some sort if you were never notified of the charges previously. I would check the statute of limitations for your state.

Answer 2

I believe so. I had received treatment at an ER back in 2000 which was denied by my insurance company. Since my insurance wasn't covering any of it, I got all the bills. I kept appealing the insurance co but kept receiving bills for at least 3 years. It eventually went to collections and I ended up having to pay it. Now I have that on my credit report, which I think is totallly unfair. So my recommendation is to take care of any medical bill that is validly your responsibility. Sometimes if you call the doctor's office you can make payment arrangements.

Answer 3

Yes they can. I work in med billing. Sometimes they can take a long time in dealing with your insurance. Sometimes your insurance can take their previous payment back for one reason or another. Also, the facility can go back and audit your chart and find charges they missed. They can and will bill you. You are still responsible. Sorry.

Answer 4

I believe they only have one year from date of service unless they were actively working with your insurance company to resolve your bill. But I could be wrong. For your first billing that is.

Answer 5

Yes

Answer 6

Any payment due is supposed to be collected prior to discharge. If discharged agrreing to make the payment within a stipulated period,it's ok. Else no claim can be preferred by the hospital later.

Answer 7

Yes they can, they can go after you until they get the money or write it off, but it takes a while for medical claims to get written off.

Answer 8

I guess they can. Sometimes insurance companies make mistakes, etc. and the charges show up later. I believe you are still liable. You could always negotiate though.

Answer 9

i'm sorry to might desire to be the single to tell you this, yet you do no longer desire an AA to paintings in an place of work. it extremely is a notably valueless diploma/certificates. in the experience that your purpose is administration, then your BA diploma is commonly heath care administration. in case you desire to paintings bigger up in a wellness center or great group, you will in all likelihood desire an MHA. good success.
