Byram fraudulent billing?
I suspect Byram of fraudulent billing to myself and Blue Cross. I received a brand new bill for supplies that were supposedly sent 1 year ago. The billing statement is labeled First Notice. It's a new bill for supplies that they say were delivered last year. If they had delivered supplies, why wait an entire year to send the first bill? The statement shows that they were paid by Blue Cross, and the remainder is my responsibility. I made a call to Byram, and the charge was immediately erased, without even explaining my issue to them. How easy it would be to bill clients in a different insurance year for supplies that one might have a slight memory of possibly receiving. Medical bills are so numerous, and so many different companies are involved in separate charges, it's often simpler to pay bills that "ring a bell", rather than investigate dates and deliveries, given that Byram puts you on an interminable hold on the phone. So, I took the time to read and check up on the bill, and when I called, they dropped the charge. Methinks they gamble on most people just paying, rather than complaining. I wonder how often the insurance company catches the "error". I plan to inform Blue Cross.
