Are you a medical provider looking for some valuable information on health insurance companies? Look no further. We recognize your need to stay informed on the insurers you work with on a day-to-day basis. And we want to help you do so. To gather quality information about these companies we asked 10 medical billers a series of survey questions, regarding their experience with said insurers. One of those questions was: Which insurance company is most likely to ask for money back?
The thought of an insurance company taking money back is a scary one, but the good news is that it’s exceedingly uncommon. Our question specifically asked which companies are most likely to take money back, but it didn’t ask how often it happens—which means it may be extremely rare even for the companies voted “most likely” to do so. Additionally, some insurance companies are quick to pay claims, which means they might overpay and then ask for that money back later. So, even though they ask for money back more often than other companies, it could be that the other company would have never paid the claim in the first place. Keep these considerations in mind as you review the following results:
