Looking for Help

Beyond everything else we've experienced, we now have the insurance company refusing over $300k in claims dating back to August. There was some confusion over our insurance cards when Nathan was first admitted to UMMC, and it wasn't until October that we were informed the wrong cards had been submitted. The claims have since been batted back and forth between UMMC and MAMSI, and now both sides are refusing blame and dumping the bills on us.

MAMSI has never denied that our son was covered for these procedures. They are refusing the claims solely on the basis that the hospital hadn't submitted the claims to them in a timely manner. The hospital is claiming that we never gave them the correct insurance information (we did after we were informed they had the incorrect cards... months later). We need some professional representation, this justifiably scares the hell out of us. We could lose everything we've worked so hard for over the years. It doesn't seem fair, given everything else we've had to endure.

Can anyone recommend a lawyer specializing in this field? We are in the metro Baltimore area, although any good firms in the MD/DC/VA area would be welcome. If you have my email, please send me a private message. Otherwise, a comment below would be fine.

Thanks,
Jason
