Sportsmom:
Can someone please help me with a question on billing secondary insurances?
Our biller does not think she should bill a secondary insurances for a
 Co-pay that is under $ 20.00 or if they have a big deductible. She picks what ones she bills and does not bill.  I have also billed secondary no matter what; I also have always understood you have to bill all or none.
Any help would be great,
Thank you

Pay_My_Claims:
more and more providers are not billing secondary insurance except for Medicare & medicaid. The hassle of billing a secondary claim for minimal charges is the reason. If you are not billing, it should be an across the board policy, and not a pick and choose.

kwardbilling:
I do bill for secondary, I haven't had a problem, although as everyone has stated,not a huge amount of money, but, I find it fair to my clients, as I get whatever is due them financially if you know what I mean, if I didn't bill secondary, I feel they are losing out, even if it is minimally. 

Sportsmom:
Thank you for your help. To me billing the secondary is about the patient it helps them.

Michele:
It may also be breaking the contract to NOT bill.  The provider should be checking into that.  And as with Charlene, it shouldn't be 'pick and choose' based on how she feels that day, it should be an across the board policy.
