Usually the first bill arrives 30+ days after the service. And by the time you get final notice to pay it will be 6-12 mos after the first bill. Not defending Intuit or MC here, but this situation is not exactly as it is painted in that Tweet.
Considering there were no more publicity about this since tweet date (November 2021), it wasn't a big deal.
- kccqzy 5y agoI've never experienced this idea of paying a provider 30+ days after the service. I've seen dentists, optometrists, PCPs, and whatever specialists PCPs have referred me to. If they determine that insurance won't cover 100%, I must pay the remainder to get any service at all. Sometimes I pay after the service is done but before leaving the premises; sometimes I must pay before service is rendered. So how do I get that 30-day+ float?
- tschwimmer 5y agoAre you located in the United States? This hasn't been my experience. The closest I've had is the office manager determining that I would owe a co-pay or co-insurance and be asked to settle that day. It's always an option to decline and ask them to send you a bill in the mail, which usually does come a month later. What sort of service provider asked you to pre-pay?
- lambic2 5y agoYes, that is true if you have insurance, but if you don't have insurance most providers will require that you prepay in full.
