Stay On Top Of Insurance Company Reimbursements

3/13

Originally, the insured was required to pay the bill and then seek reimbursement from the insurance company. Today, most doctors and other providers submit bills directly to the insurance company on the patient's behalf, receive the payment directly, and then bill the patient for the difference between the total bill and the amount received from the insurer. While this practice spares you the up-front hassle of paying the bill and waiting for reimbursement, you still have to keep track of payments and amounts due from the insurance company.
