‘Got to Get Fixed:’ Billing Delays, Coverage Issues Still Plague Tricare Patients and Providers
A US Army Reserve major has been dealing with a large amount of unpaid medical bills. The bills total $86,000 and are for her family's medical care. Doctors' offices have been contacting her daily to collect on these bills.
The major, who lives in San Antonio, Texas, receives frequent mail notices about the bills. Some notices are reminders, while others are more urgent. The issue appears to be with the insurance company, which has denied some claims due to a lack of information about other insurance coverage.
Further details about this situation are available from The War Horse.
