In an ideal world, you would not struggle to pay for your medical expenses. Unfortunately, medical malpractices are not uncommon, and you may be asked for bills that you will have a hard time to pay. Your bill may contain inappropriate Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes that can result in payment denials by your insurance carrier, and in overcharges by hospitals, physicians, and other providers. There is often a comprehensive CPT code to perform two services or procedures, particularly when they are commonly performed together. Medical billers may inappropriately unbundle charges for these services that would result in overbilling.
You may have no
idea of the codes and numbers reflecting on your hospital bill. However, a
specialist medical bills lawyer, who is familiar with codes, knows what they
mean, and easily spot errors in them. That way, you won’t have to pay for
anything that you shouldn’t do. They may even negotiate with billing divisions
and insurance firms. Hospitals are often willing to negotiate as they expect
insurance providers to push back on prices they give, and accept a lower
payment, than no payment at all. Many hospitals have financial aid programs for
those with limited means, or struggling with larger bills.
Contesting prices
and seeking discounts
The experienced
eyes medical bills
attorneys, such as the ones available with Recovery Law Group, can notice
such errors, and scrutinize the billing details. The attorney will meticulously
review medical bills records, and identify any discrepancies or inflated
charges. A comparison of the bill can reveal charges for services or products
that you did not receive. The error may creep in as the biller may have
confused one patient with another, or a wrong patient for a service. When the
billing is excessive, your insurance provider may legitimately deny payment for
a bill. Your medical bills lawyer may even contest prices and seek discounts.
At the same time, they may examine the legal aspects related to breach of
contract or other actionable claim.
