Is Your Insurance Company Trying to Make You Repay Legal Billing?
Large insurance companies are beginning to send letters to medical clinics and health care providers, demanding repayment for money billed legally under block agreements with an ambulance company or other licensed medical service provider. Until recently, such agreements between the doctor and the independent service provider were an accepted part of operating a successful medical clinic. Recent changes in the law, however, have made the provider licenses nontransferable. Health insurance providers are trying to claim that all money paid to doctors and clinics under the old rules must be repaid.
