Dispute over Medical Bills?
I recently found out about a unit at Maryland’s Attorney General’s Office. They have a unit called the Health Education and Advocacy Unit. They offer help to consumers who are having a billing dispute with their health care provider or health insurance company. The Unit assists with issues like these: Health insurance company has refused to cover a medical procedure, medical equipment was never delivered or is defective, or there is a billing issue with your doctor or dentist.
The Health Unit can be reached by calling 410-528-1840 or 877-261-8807. You can file a complaint online at www.oag.state.md.us/consumer/heau.htm
I don’t know if all states have a unit like this but it would seem worth the time to find out if you are having a dispute with your doctor or insurance company over medical bills.
