How long does a doctor have to collect on a bill?

Jan 13, 2014 · I always paid for my responsible part of my dental work before leaving the dental office. The Dentist would submit the rest of the bill to my insurance provider. I just received a bill for services rendered 3 years ago and the insurance company also paid their responsible portion.

Why is my dental insurance bill late?

Nov 16, 2013 · You can be billed anytime on a contract but the contract usually cannot be enforced if oral after 2 years or if written after 4 years. You can defend against collection on the contract with dentist S with a counterclaim/defense of dental malpractice. You had better have dentist Z or some other dentist back up any such malpractice claim/defense.

Is it right to pay the dentist the balance of Bill?

Feb 24, 2016 · At the time treatment is completed, you pay the total out-of-pocket amount estimate we reviewed together. We accept many options for payment including cash, check, credit card, or Care Credit. Once that payment is received, we bill the entire amount of the treatment to the insurance company. They pay the percentage that your policy requires.

You should request a detailed billing statement from your dentist. The charges should be in conformity with the insurance agreement. If the amounts have been paid, provide the dentist with the payment information from your insurance company and/or credit card company.

Ask for a statement of account from the dentist; you can obtain a copy of your statements from your credit card company.

The grammar and clarity of your post are below par. Based on what I think you intended to communicate, I'd take up with Delta what dentist S is allowed to charge you. You can be billed anytime on a contract but the contract usually cannot be enforced if oral after 2 years or if written after 4 years.

You should first have Z document the alleged malpractice and send it to Delta Dental. It seems as if Delta was unable to find support that malpractice occurred making the second procedure necessary. Also, see if Z is willing to testify S committed malpractice. In any event, you should consult an attorney with experience in this area.

Consult with a local medical malpractice lawyer ASAP for the answers to all these questions. Most lawyers offer a free initial consultation.

The statute of limitations on dental malpractice is 1 year from the date you knew or should have known of the malpractice. In your case it would be from the date you discovered the malpractice. You need expert testimony and if your new dentist is willing to commit to the fact that dental malpractice occurred, then you are in good shape.

Christopher John Gansen

This is a bit hard to follow. I'd start with the biller for S' practice. Often the people who bill at dental offices--at least I've seen--are overzealous and dishonest. Ask them to explain every charge and why they think they're entitled to more money now.

Kevin H. Pate

An assumption a bill is revenge may be unwarranted. Check your own records on payment if you believe you already paid for the services. If so, provide that documentation to the dentist.
