So back in March I found out that I was pregnant. My husband and I didn't have insurance then and was paying $500 out of pocket every monthly doctor's visit until we finally got insurance with Blue Cross Blue Shield 4 months later in July because of my husband's assistant manager position at Papa John's.

Unfortunately the $500 we were paying only covered the visit itself, not any of the lab work we had done the same day of the visit (urine sample, blood, blah blah blah) and that was a separate bill from LabCorp that cost just as much. Our hospital told us that once we got insurance all of the money that we had already payed out of pocket ( about $1,500-$2,000) would be reimbursed to us after if we owed LabCorp or the hospital any more money from what our insurance would cover and take out.

Since July we have not gotten a bill from LabCorp or the hospital, only statements saying THIS IS NOT A BILL and showing us what our insurance covered and what we owed afterwards which has been $0 because of all the money we payed out of pocket before we had insurance.

NOW I have gotten a bill from LabCorp for $501 and our insurance has covered NONE of this bill (again, I haven't received a bill fromn them since July) because at the top it says "your insurance company has denied any payments because the patient cannot be identified or payments were not eligible on the date of the last appointment".

Ok, well first of all I can be identified because my name is the same and hasn't changed and I don't see why the payment wasn't "eligible on that date of appointment" because my husband has been paying $160 since July so we can have insurance so they better pay what they normally cover!

I am going to call about it tomorrow but since everything is closed at this time and out of frustration I am just curious as to why this could be? I am 22 and just moved into a new apartment so we are kinda low on money and this bill is pissing me off to no end because I don't understand why our insurance company is denying payments!
