If the provider exceeds timely filing limits with the insurance carrier the provider cannot bill the patient. The provider must have a participating contract with the insurance carrier also.

Is the hospital responsible for assigning a doctor that takes your insurance plan?
No, the hospital is generally NOT required to assign doctors, technicians, and labs that accept your insurance. This is a real oddity of the way the health care system works (or does not work). You can pay your co-pay for hospitalization and later still get a tremendous bill for lab tests, radiology, pharmacy, even anaesthiology, and when this happens you can struggle with claim forms for months trying to get partial payments from insurance.
If you have three medical insurances are doctors required to bill them all before billing the patient?
You doctor is not obligated to send the bill to ANY insurance company unless the agreement between the carrier and the doctor requires it. More and more doctors are trying to relieve themselves of the paperwork nightmare of dealing with insurance companies. They will accept the negotiated rate but demad it at the time of service from the patient. It is then the problem for the patient to collect from the carrier.
