      Business Response

      Date: 12/01/2023

      The claimant (patient in question) had been attending physical therapy visits and requested billing for services sent to their health insurance carrier, ********** Blue Shield ('BCBS'). The claimant did not communicate a request to change this billing process to our office until after the 8/22/23 date of service (appointment) had already been billed electronically to BCBS.

      Retrospectively, the patient wanted the payor changed from BCBS to self pay (self pay is an established rate for services the patient agrees to pay without services being billed to any health insurance carrier they may have) for dates beginning in August as outlined below: 

      Dates of Service in question with billing:
      8/2/23                 $168.67
      8/4/23                 $108.84
      8/8/23                 $117.58
      8/11/23              $117.58
      8/22/23              $108.84

      Because notification by claimant did not happen until after the date of service 8/22/23, the claims were submitted to claimants insurance, BCBS, and processed towards the claimant's insurance deductible. 

      Once submitted and processed, we cannot reduce/reverse/cancel those charges as that would be a direct violation of our contract with BCBS and be considered fraud.

      Once the patient did notify our office of the request to self-pay, our billing office did waive the full charge of the 8/29/23 visit which was never billed to BCBS, and charges for 8/29/23 visit and any after that time were at our self-pay rate.

      Total patient responsibility was   $621.51
      Total patient payments to date    $370.00
      Total patient balance due             $251.51

      Please let us know of any further information needed to resolve the dispute.
