Who can I contact for a medical billing dispute with a hospital that refuses to bill my insurance company?

I made sure the doctor was “in network” and was not told by the office that I would be billed as if every office visit was an emergency room visit. I have contacted billing twice and my insurance company has contacted them also but they refuse to re-bill for simple office visits which are what I should be billed for and i am fully insured for. I am not insured for all these out-patient procedure bills.

The best way for your to try and get the billing issues that you have with the hospital that you are writing about through your medical insurance carrier is to call the hospital's accounts receivables department about the issue.

After you have had an opportunity to discuss the issue with the hospital's representative, memorialize the telephone conversation with a written letter to the representative with a copy to your insurance company's representative. Keep a copy of the letter for future use and need.
