[quote=Anonymous]OP back... just spoke with my insurer who said this practice is allowed and there's nothing that can be done about it. They acknowledged that errors can be made, and recommended reconciling prepayment amounts with the EOBs when they arrive. They said they have no visibility into what Inova collects pre-paid from the patient, and there is no initiative underway to challenge this practice contractually. The insurer said this is becoming more and more common. I guess there's not much that can be done. The principle of it just bothers me -- circumventing the established process to prepay for a procedure for which the outcome is unclear. Guess it's time to shift the ole' paradigm.[/quote]
