I own a laboratory in California where we bill insurance for our services. It’s common
for insurance payers (Anthem) to pay its subscribers directly for our services, then they are supposed to pay our bills or forward the checks directly. We have a patient who received $130,000 for our services and is now AWOL. We spoke to their ex-wife and she says he plans on taking all the money and is now “on the run”. The patient’s residence is in Oregon so I’ve called 15+ law firms to he’ll us take on this case and they’ve declined. Ignoring the obvious that Anthem shouldn’t be sending patients these sums of money, what can we do?
