Not only can happen, this is often what happens by default.
You go to a doctor, then the doctor and the insurance have several months of ping pong during which you get about half a ream of "This is not a bill" documents that show a different set of things with different dollar amounts every other cycle, and then eventually you get an actual bill for the largest amount.
If it's wrong, you can spend another year fighting them to fix the billing codes.
It's a total shit show.
- leeoniya 7y agocombine that with frequently incompetent medical coding, and your insurence ends up not covering stuff they would otherwise cover 100%. my wife is on 3-way phone calls between the billing dept and insurance every month fighting incorrect bills from 6 months ago that did not arrive until 3 months later. she is now basically a better medical coder than the provider. it's a fucking circus designed to make patients pay through attrition alone - it eats away at your morale and free time.
