Hello, I have a few questions how to handle my PCP or Labcorp messing up with my insurance details. I had a bloodwork taken at my primary care and apparently they sent it to Labcorp. But Labcorp billed my insurance with the incorrect details apparently - my name and Member ID, group number are wrong. I got a mail in Feb asking for insurance details but the return address was not online on their website, so I thought it was phishing. I called the Billing department and asked them if they needed my insurance details, and they said "it is pending with insurance and there is nothing you have to do but wait". I don't have this call recorded. Today I got the invoice number and it says the below: "Reason for Bill: We attempted to file a claim with insurance. According to BLUES NJ: HORIZON BCBS, the patient name or subscriber number did not match their records. This balance is now the patient responsibility" I don't want this to impact my credit score but I don't want to pay $1000 since my PCP or they made mistake that I had nothing to do with. I will call them tomorrow morning but I have a few questions. 1. Since they dumped the responsibility on me, can I sort of force them to refile with insurance? What do I do if they refuse? 2. How long generally do I have to sort this out (not paying) so it doesn't impact me. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm just pretty pissed right now so apologies if I sound rude.

I have BCBS Horizon of NJ PPO. It’s my dad’s plan thru his work at a large sales company that has no religious affiliation. He’s worked there only a few years definitely after 2019. His job is in NC, I’m a MD resident. Currently battling insurance for a bilateral salpingectomy which is a form of permanent contraceptive and falls under preventive care and the ACA. My plan offers preventive care 100% covered in network. My insurance is telling me it’s covered at 80% after my deductible is met ($1200). One rep even told me my plan must not be aca compliant then. I looked into that and BCBS NJ horizon has not offered a non aca compliant plan since 2013. This rep is flat out lying, right? Well she gets a supervisor involved and he can’t confidently say whether my plan is aca compliant or not. It covers birth control 100% (I currently am on a 100% covered by them birth control). I think they may be looking it up as an outpatient surgery and not as preventative care. How do I tell them to look at it from preventative care and not outpatient surgery? Is it even possible for my plan to not be aca compliant? I’m currently in communication with an hr person from my dad’s company. She hasn’t gotten back to me yet and I really want to sleep tonight. My surgery is March 27th and I really can’t afford for it to not be 100% covered. Please help 🙏 💜
