She had an office visit, EKG, and a minor procedure performed in the office totaling $600. Dr. Sullivan is contracted and in-network with Ms. Morris’ insurance carrier. The insurance carrier has a 90-day claim submission policy from the date of service. When reviewing the accounts receivables at the end of May, the billing department discovered that the claim for Ms. Morris’ 1/5/18 visit was never submitted to the insurer. The billing department submits the claim on 5/20/18 in attempts to collect any amount.
