I would call the provider and ask them to rebill the collection agency's won't usually do that. I worked in insurance for 33 years and we overturned the timely filing rule all the time. I even think most contracts read if other bills related to the same illness or injury were filed on time then they will pay. I would keep fighting with the insurance company and go up the chain of command. They don't like letters to the president or complaints to the state insurance dept. I would also call the provider and tell then if they had billed the correct code originally this would not have happened and ask them to call off the collection agency.I think it's worth trying even though it is so frustrating. Good luck. Also, be firm but not nasty. Good luck |
