She may have signed something indicating she understood that the facility or some of its providers are OON.
My local hospital has a field on their “Consent To Treatment” forms that are presented in the ER or upon admission, that indicates that the patient understands that the hospital and many of its providers may be OON. Clients should be war…[Read more] -

Linda, my question is how an EOB exists if the ED is not contracted with insurance. Did the patient submit the claim to the insurance herself? If not, then the facility submitted it.
I agree with all of what AnnMarie posted. -

Linda,
Not knowing the type of insurance, I cannot say for sure, but since most people’s insurance plans fall under the No Surprises Act, my weigh in is yes. The individual did not receive a good faith estimate and thus should not be required to pay a balance bill. They should file a complaint with CMS

My client gave her insurance card at the ER. She was treated for a minor injury and sent home. Then she received a bill for almost $8000. I sent in the EOB showing a patient balance of about $800. When I called they said they don’t contract with the insurance and don’t do settlements.
The patient was not informed at the ER visit that they did…[Read more]

Hello Sarah,
I didn’t see a response to your question so I thought I would share my experience: My understanding is that I have a Registered Agent where my Business is and you can work with out of state clients and not have a license in each state because the place where your business is is what matters.
However, when I went to obtain my business…[Read more] -
