Thanks for the reply.

I will wait and see what the denials on the Medicare and Medicaid HMO's are before billing anyone.

You are right, I believe the doctor accepted all insurance types from the referring doctors in order to get there paying patients {ie Medicare non HMO's etc}. I will be getting with them to explain that we probably won't be able to collect most of it.

Question: What about the "other insurances" PPO's etc that we are not contracted with, what is there responsibility in paying claims to out of network providers? Is it going to depend on the individual contract?
