In Feb. 2001 I had to be transported to the hospital via ambulance. They received all of my insurance information and filed a claim with my insurance company, which was paid by my ins. in Mar. 2001. I never heard anything else about it...no bill, no statement, nothing. My insurance company did send an explanation of benefits which stated the charge had been paid in March 2001. I got a bill in the mail today (10-06-2007) from the ambulance company wanting me to pay a leftover amount that supposedly insurance didn't pay back in 2001. This charge was incurred 6 1/2 years ago. I wasn't even aware there was an additional charge...like I said...no bill, nothing from them until today. My insurance company has already cleared this from their system, so they can't give me any information on it. The DOS is 02-04-2001. The statement date on the letter I received is 09-27-2007. Can they bill me for 6 1/2 years ago? Also, am I responsible for this charge, since my insurance company exp. of benefits says the claim was paid? What are my options and rights? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
