Are you responsible for payment if your insurance company made an error in processing the claim and has not paid total bill?

It depends on the specific terms of your insurance policy. In most cases, the insurance company is responsible for paying the full amount of the bill if they made an error in processing the claim. However, some policies may have provisions that state that the policyholder is responsible for any portion of the bill that is not covered by the insurance company, regardless of the reason for the non-payment.

If your insurance company has denied or reduced payment on a claim, you should first review your policy to see what it says about the insurance company's responsibility to pay claims. You should also contact your insurance company to discuss the error and see if they are willing to reconsider their decision. If they are not, you may need to file an appeal or take legal action to get the full amount of your bill paid.

Here are some tips for getting your insurance company to pay a claim:

* Keep all of your documentation related to the claim, including the bill, the insurance company's explanation of benefits (EOB), and any correspondence between you and the insurance company.

* Be prepared to talk to your insurance company about your claim. Have all of your information ready and be able to explain the situation clearly and concisely.

* Be polite and respectful, even if you are upset.

* If you are unable to reach a resolution with your insurance company, you may need to file an appeal or take legal action. You should talk to an attorney to discuss your options.
