So is he keeping the remaining money as payment because he improperly billed the insurance company? You are most probably going to have to sue him in small claimscourt to get back the money that he is holding. Bring with you proof that he failed to bill the insurance company for the work as well as proof of payments made and that the work was completed. If you believe that he overcharged you because of the failure to properly bil the insurance company then you may also want to call and ask your insurance company for a schedule of the payment amounts (how much they pay for the work) and for all of your benefit explanations if need be. Good luck to you.
