What agency deals with dentist offices whose billing practices seem shady? -

Smilecare in Jacksonville Florida turned in a claim over a year and a half late and billed twice for the same procedure. The bill has been turned over to a collections agency at this point.

The state insurance commission, or board labor/wages. In Tallahassee, FL last I knew. I know some hosp can bill up to a year later, don t know why they get away with this, cause they start sending over due notices withing 30 days or so. Keep copies or dispute it in small claims court.

If you never paid for the service they can bill you more than twice. If you paid anything toward this charge/service, and they didn t reduce the amount you owe, then you should call the better business bureau in your area and register a complaint. While your complaining - explain why you haven t made any payments.
