Hospital Bill Audit/ Overpayment Recovery???? Posted: 01-11-06 14:45pm
Does anyone know a company that does hba
and/or overpayment recovery? I was
uninsured at the time I went to the e.R.
And the costs are outrageous and they put
stuff on there I didn't think made sense,
but those bills are so hard to read I
couldn't know for sure. Well i'm only 20
years old and being young and dumb I
didn't know you could audit bills, so I
paid the outrageous bill, but now I read
that you can have someone check it out and
if things were wrong you can get money
back. I also have another bill where the
doc charged almost $800 for no more than
15 minutes of just talking to me, but I
didn't pay that one yet. Any help would
be appreciated!
The service you are referring to is
something I provide. I am called a claims
assistance professional.
Claims assistance professionals can audit
your bills. But it isnt cheap and there
is no guarantee a recovery can be made.
Unfortunately for you, without health
insurance you are at the mercy of what a
physician charges. However you can find
out what codes he would have used if he
were billing to an insurance company and
ask them if they would accept the same
payment that the insurance company would
have made. Sometimes this could be a huge
decrease in the bill.
With the hospital charges, yes you may
have been overbilled. They may have
charged for procedures or items that
should have been inclusive.
If you care to leave your contact info, I
will help.
