    Question Insurance Overpayment to Provider - Am I Liable?

    My question involves insurance law for the state of: Georgia

    On 8 Sep, I was contacted by a collection agency in regards to an insurance overpayment made to my surgeon almost 3 years ago. I was told that I am ultimately responsible for resolution of this debt as the surgeons office had not responded. I have contacted the collection agency twice regarding the need for paperwork to help resolve this issue with the surgeon. As of this date, 23 Sep, I have not received any information. However, the collection agency has asked me for status of resolution. Am I legally liable for this debt to the collection agency?

    have you contacted the providers office to find out what was going on? have you talked to the insurance company to find out why they feel they overpaid the surgeon?

    Prior to contacting the provider, I want to have the documentation regarding the overpayment. I have nothing to go by other than what I was verbally told by the collection agency.

    Call the INSURANCE COMPANY who placed the account in collections and ask them for documentation of the overpayment!! Then call the surgeon's office and explain the situation. It shouldn't be a problem for them to pull your payment history and EOB. Don't wait for the collection agency!

    Good luck.
