Anyone have any advice for this situation? Thanks in advance!
There was a couple with BC insurance. The patient was the dependent spouse who received about $20,000 worth of treatment in 2021 at this Texas practice. The BC was from another state (not sure which one at this time). BC did pay the practice for these treatments in 2021.
In 2022, the BC insurance recouped the $20,000 from the 2021 treatments.
It seems that the couple filed for divorce in 2020 and the divorce was finalized in September 2020. BC says that the dependent spouse was no longer covered as of the divorce in September 2020.
The patient did not advise the practice of this information or that they were no longer covered.
Does the practice have any options to try and get re-paid either through the BC or do they have to bill the patient directly or just eat it?
