My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: MISSISSIPPI
My son had major reconstructive surgery in feb 2007 on his knee. He was provided with an iceman machine to use for 6mo to a year. (We are in Mississippi and the iceman company is in PA.) The machine was filed to my insurance as a rental and denied. The rental charge was 1400.00 for machine and 150.00 for hose and pad.
( The machine can be purchased from a DME provider for about $200.00!) Since this was a school athletics accident, the school ins picked up at 100% anything that my ins did not cover in full. About a year later the company called for me to return the machine and said they had filed an appeal to my insurance co..and that they still had not filed the school insurance because they were waiting on the primary. She told me that the school ins. may say it was past the filing limits at this point. and they would have to accept that. She also asked me to forward to her 112.00 that was sent to me for the pad. I sent the machine and the 112.00 in june 2008. Today i recvd a letter demanding for me to provide them w/ copies of all EOBs for these charges with my insurance as they don't have them on file now & also the 1400.00?? Is this legal??? 4 1/2 years later? How would you handle this? Should I see an attorney?
