I underwent a medical procedure in June 2006. I received a statement on 9/1/2007 billing me for the charges on my account. There were 3 charges listed on this statement. The 1st is the doctor's actual billing, which occurred on 8/1/06. The 2nd is the insurance company out-of-network payment on 9/21/06. The 3rd is the insurance write-off provided by the doctor's office on 9/21/06.
Since I never received any bills prior to this bill on 9/1/2007 and the charges are over 1 year old, which precludes me from appealing to my insurance provider for additional payment on this bill, am I required to pay it?
I don't think it's fair of them to send me an initial bill 14 months after the surgery!
Am I obligated to pay this?!?!
