WTFrik?????????
what a surprise
to open my mail today -and find a bill for 2300 from barix (wls) which was almost two years ago--i paid my part so i cannot wait til monday to find out what this is all about!!!!! this is the form bill that says that they have been paid by my ins company and now this is my balance-
i mean- um....the money tree got chopped down years ago and so i am wondering what this is going to do to my stress eating.....
sorry- i know that i am rambling but this is not sitting well......
Hey First Off Do Not panic, I have read on other baords that they have tried to do this & as long as you paid your part & have your receipts
still, there should be no problem. These Ins. Companies like to pull this
Crap ever so ofter I think just to fry our minds. Do not strees eat, you have done really well, don't blow it now. This will work itself out, listen
to the one who has had lots of stress lately. I no. Eating does not solve
a darn thing, it might make you feel better for a short time, then you are
mad or sick for eating something stupid. Hang in There It will be better
soon.

Part of my decision not to use Barix when I had my WLS was that at the time they did not have a contract in place with BC/BS and I would be responsible for anything that BC/BS did not pay. And believe me, I got the impression at my consultation that Barix was extremely focused on getting their money.
I hope you get this resolved!

Here's my spin, for what it's worth...
Sometimes when an office has trouble getting the insurance company to pay the proper amount, they, in turn, bill the patient, which they are NOT supposed to do. Do you have an EOB (explanation of benefits)? Pull out your receipts and get on the phone with barix and your insurance company. I'm sure you'll get it straightened out.
Take care and keep us posted!
