I came across an old claim in the system and I saw that the primary insurance was filed and a payment was made. No letter/bill was sent to the patient so after calling the insurance company and making sure that the balance was the patients responsiblity, I mailed a letter to the patient. The patient called today and said he had a secondary insurance and I told him that information was not on file. He called the insurance company and they told him of course that I will have to appeal with a good reason why we didn't file the claim with them. I wasn't working here then and according to the information in the account, the patient did not have a secondary. I know the insurance company will more than likely deny the claim. Can I still bill the patient? Are there any rules that will help with this situation?
Thanks
