If not,most insurances only allow a certain time period for claims to be submitted (and it sounds like it wasnt submitted if I am reading correctly) However if the hospital,physician or billing office fails to do so they can not in turn bill you. I personnally just dealt with this issue. A bill was turned over to collections and after much research and calling my insurance carrier I was made aware of there error. The CA had to remove the TL from all three reports.
Excellent post and 100% accurate!

I don't think hospitals, physicians or medical facilities are REQUIRED to bill insurance companies on behalf of the patient. Most do it as a courtesy but it is ultimately the insured responsibility to either make sure its filed by the medical facility or file it themselves. But yes, most ins co's have a certain time frame that claims can be filed. If there is proof that it was filed in a timely manner and something happened that it didn't post correctly or something like that, then they'll fix it.
