The Insured Person will receive an EOB (Explanation of Benefits) from the insurance company which explains the payment by the insurance company, the allowed charge based on contract rates with the provider, and the remaining amount if any that is due from the patient to the provider.

The life cycle of an insurance claim is the process a health insurance claim goes through from the time the claim is submitted by the provider until it is paid by the insurance carrier. There are four basic steps to the life cycle of an insurance claim - submission, processing, adjudication, and payment/denial. Submission is the transmission of claims to an insurance carrier (either manually or electronically). Processing is completed by the payer by collecting information about the patient, provider, and services performed from the insurance claim form. Adjudication is when the services and information reported on the claim is compared to payer edits and the patients health benefits to ensure all information needed is available, the claim hasn't been previously paid, payer rules were followed, and the services billed are covered benefits for the patient. After the adjudication process, claims are either paid or denied by the payer. The payer generates a remittance advice or explaination of benefits to both the provider and policy holder (patient) explaining how the claim was processed. If the claim is paid, a check is mailed along with the explaination. Once the payment is received by the provider it is posted to the patient's account and any remaining balances are billed out to the patient.
Payment of the medical service is quicker if you bill quickly.Payment is slower when you delay billing.Billing the claim asap also allows time for taking care of any problems with the payment by the insurance carrier or for the insurance carrier to resolve problems with the claim.

Yes per the provider contract, they are required to file claims to the insurance carrier within specifiec time periods. The provider can NOT bill the patient if they have not done so.
since the claim is processed than you do not own the car anymore.

After the claim is processed the patient will be responsible for any coinsurance, deductible; and any of the insurance companies non-covered services that were rendered. Hope this helps! Evan
An insurance denial attorney will fight for you, should your claim be denied by your insurance carrier.
yes
The doctor did not file the insurance claim because the patient's insurance policy did not cover the specific treatment or service provided.
