Hi,
 I'm working on this secondary billing claim from an on-line course and have questions. Here goes. A patient has insurance at her work and also covered with her husband's insurance. She (the patient) paid the bill in full at time of services. Her insurance company was charged $120.00 for the services, insurance did not cover $37.50, the insurance allowed $82.50, the patients deductible was $10.00, coinsurance was $7.25, benefit amount was $65.25.

 EOB deductible summary as follows:

with this payment, total deductible amount for Sally    $100.00
for the year has been settled                               

with this payment, total deductible amount for the      $300.00
Smith family for the year has been met.

Patient Summary:

Total benefit amount for all claims submitted:             $65.25


This claim was paid on behalf of Blue Cross of IA.


 My question is: Do I file a secondary claim or not?
    Thank you for all your help.

why would we answer the question for an online training course? You should email your instructor if you don't comprehend the problem. If you ask a question about something you don't understand I would be happy to help you, but to just give you an answer does you no justice.
