8. You really don't know if you have been short charged.

We saw many bills where the office w/o things they shouldn't or where there was a system problem and copays were being wiped out in error.

Of course, there were the issues where the insurance co. refused to honor their policy and over-charged. We got involved with helping with those and those were really difficult and tedious to fix. Luckily, we were a major practice so did usually manage to resolve things, but not always. There were several times we told the patients they needed to file suit against the insurance co. One woman was being OVERBILLED over $100,000 between the hospital and the physicians due to the insurance error.
