Donald’s never answered my questions which is unacceptable? I WANT A COPY OF WHEN THEY SUBMITTED THE BILL AND THE CODE THEY USED when submitted to Medicare and Mutual Health Services? Being that it is electronically is easierTake a screen shot or something.? ? ? I originally talked to Stephanie on 08/19/in your office and she said that they submitted ***’s medical claim incorrectly? They submitted the claim to the insurance company that *** *** WALKED to the ambulance? That is why it wasn’t covered? That is not trueI explained that to Stephanie.? ? ? Electronically or not you have to keep all records of medical claimsLike I said in my first responseMedicare and Mutual Health Services denied the claim because you submitted the bill to them incorrect and not on time? I am not paying for your mistake you prove to me that you submitted the bills correctly to Medicare and Mutual Health Services before the one year of serviceI want the copy of original medical claim forms? ? ? ? I spoke to Dee at Cleveland Clinic (Mutual Health Services) February 26, ? She told me that there was a bill that was never paid for and went to collections from 2/16/for ? It was later submitted and paid for? Dee is sending all the proper paper work to me as soon as it is approved by her supervisor? Dee said it will take a good month or so to through the proper channels and mail copies back to me.? ? ? I also talked to Stephanie B*** at Medicaid this morning 2-26-? Because of the HIPAA laws she can’t give me any information at this time? I am filling out forms and then they will get back to me with the information as well? Stephanie told me it will take AT LEAST working days and then they will send it in the mail? Stephanie also told me that Donald’s and son Ambulance Service Incshould have record of this submission to the claims department? I told Stephanie that they didn’t because they sent them electronically? She laughed!!!! ? She said by law you need to keep all records for at least years? That is admission of guilt? So now we will have to wait at least a month or two for copies from Medicaid.Thank you,*** ***
