Billing Services (Medical and Non- Medical)

Defending Medical and Non-Medical Billing Services Companies

Companies that provide billing services run a serious risk of being sued for negligence when billing personnel make errors and mistakes.  For example, health care providers often claim to rely on medical billing service companies to obtain proper certifications from the insurance companies.  If certification is not obtained, the provider can suffer a substantial financial loss, resulting in a claim against the billing services company to recover damages.  Because billing services companies tend to deal in a high-volume business with mistakes and errors often running across an entire line, these types of lawsuits can easily expose a company to hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages.
