I work in an accounts receivable department at a behavioral health facility. I am always shocked when contacting insurance, they pretty much state, “all info given is subject to change.”
When an insurer, like anthem, changes effectives dates and adds a term day prior to already paid claims. How can they do this? I can get that things change. But it seems like there should be more… protections for providers. We end up having to chase down money, as insurers get to do as they please it seems.
And they are horrendous at sharing Coordination of Benefit information. I feel this should be more standardized and a national data base is required to be updated if an insurer takes on a member.
I tried to search why/how this is possible. Mostly articles explaining how not to get in a trap, like is is acceptable.
Thank you
