Hi I need help with a bankruptcy question. We have a patient that filed, and was granted a dismissal of their debt through the bankruptcy courts. Prior to filing bankruptcy, the patient has received a check for an anesthesia services perfomed at our practice. We did not participate w/the patient's insurance so the check was sent to the patient. The patient cashed and kept the check in the amount of $940.00. Our billing person has tried numerous times to collect this balance from the patient but was unsuccesful. My question is do we now have to write off this amount since the patient was excused of all of her debt? We never saw a prior notice from the courts granting us time to appeal this decision.
