They submited the claim as a courtesy, then had to wait to hear from the insurance company. They had six months to do that. We don't know how long it took for your insurance company to send them an explanation of benefits. Speaking of which.....if they submitted the claim, you must have received and EOB, as well. What does it say? If you can prove that they filed the claim within the timely filing period, you can still appeal the decision.
In the meantime, the Physicians deserve to be paid for their services and have waited almost a year and a half to receive it. You need to remit your payment to them.
Why in heavens do you feel entitled to a discount from Physicians who are not contracted by your insurance company, who submitted a claim for you, and who have waited so long to be paid??
