Got Medical bills after so many months or year



Once you got a treatment and gave all your necessary documents with front office. You got nothing to do with on your medical bills.

But why it’s taking months to receive a medical bill, in some cases it may take years to receive your medical bill.

Medical back office process is not an easy process, since it involved so many entities for a single bill. Once doctor treatment over he will record the conversation and same conversation will be sent to transcription from there coding & billing. With the technology improvement doctor’s office can generate hundreds of claims in a day.

Once your claim generated you claim will be sent to insurance office. Insurance office may take 3 day to 1 month to process your claim. If everything goes well your claim will be accepted by insurance in such case you may receive a bill with a month span.

If insurance company not accepted your claim due to billing error or any document missing from you or from a doctor, billing team have to rework. Most of the time insurance will give a clear denial reason. Some time they may not. So doctor office need to call the insurance get the correct reason and resubmit the claim to insurance.

Again same cycle will follow till insurance company accept your claim, once insurance company accepted your bill. Doctor’s billing team will work on your claim. And send the medical bill if you have any leftover balance from insurance. Like co-pay, co insurance and deductible or any non covered services according to your insurance plan.
