Hello,
where : Dallas, tx USA.
I went to see a hand specialist for my dislocated finger. I provided my health insurance card and signed the forms saying "i'd pay all costs not covered by my health insurance" etc.
I saw the hand doctor 16 times in a 3 month period. I was never asked for payment. 4 months after my last visit I received a bill for $700. All that was stated was 'balance forward'.
I have no information from the health service provider as to what costs they have covered (if any) and what I owe (if anything).
I wrote to the doctor 3 times asking for a detailed explanation of the charges. I spoke to his medical billing department (an out sourced one) and they said they would send a copy of the claims, but I have received nothing.
Do I still have to pay regardless? I am worried that if I pay he will send another balance forward of several hundred dollars.
Many thanks.
