Debt collection Medical

Complaint #1665539 submitted on 11/20/2015 relating to B.C. Services, Inc.. Complaint relates to Debt collection Medical - Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt is not mine.

Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Friday 20th November 2015.

Narrative (may be redacted).

In XXXX of 2014, I had emergency surgery. I had XXXX XXXX health insurance at the time of the surgery. XXXX paid all claims submitted by providers. XXXX provider, Colorado XXXX XXXX, says they repeatedly submitted a claim to XXXX but the claim was denied. XXXX 's records show no claim was ever submitted by Colorado XXXX XXXX. The medical provider acknowledges they had complete and accurate insurance information for me and that I did my part of the process as a consumer. The medical provider did not perform their due diligence in submitting the claim in a timely manner. Once one year from the date of service had passed, they say they sent me a bill. I did not receive a bill from them and doubt the bill was sent ; it seems that they claim to have billed me the same as they claim to have submitted to XXXX, but no record can be found. They sent the account to collections and say I was notified, but I can locate no record of notification.

On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I was served with a summons indicating I am being sued for the amount. It should be noted the summons was dated XXXX XXXX, but not issued until a full month later. Once I received the summons I contacted XXXX and Colorado XXXX XXXX. XXXX asked that the company resubmit. The staff member at Colorado XXXX XXXX assured me they would resubmit the claim. They did not. I had to contact the XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for assistance. They were able to review XXXX claim logs for the entire year and verified that the medical company had not ever submitted the claim. They will not submit now, which is needed for XXXX to issue me a statement of benefits showing I owe them nothing.

Now, I am being sued for the amount of the bill, collections fees, and court fees. For something that is the fault of the health care company not following procedure. I am livid that I have no consumer protection from this sort of senseless lawsuit when I had insurance that would have paid the claim if it had been submitted.
