I don’t know where to ask this so if there’s a better sub, please let me know
I recently have been looking to make an appointment online with kaiser, but noticed I haven’t been able to and kept receiving notices that if I wasn’t covered, I wouldn’t be able to do much through their site.
When i was looking for more information about my coverage, I saw a list of claims from my doctors over the course of the past two years but I noticed I had a recent one in october from a doctor I’ve never seen before for more than $200 and was not stated to be covered by my insurance or processed by my insurance. There was another claim from the same doctor in 2019 for $45 where 25 was covered and 20 was not. Im currently in school so i’m under my parent’s plan originally in norcal but I’m in school in socal, so I switched back in september to receive coverage here. The doctor is located in norcal, so there was no way I could have visited him at all since I’m in school and didn’t see any type of doctor since I left. He is also a pediatrician so there’s definitely no way I would’ve seen him since I’m an adult with no children.
I don’t really understand what a claim is, but from what I’ve read so far it’s just a bill to the insurance ? Do i now need to pay off this money that is not covered by insurance? I’m just confused on what my next steps should be (Kaiser’s claims department is closed right now), whether I should be concerned about identity theft or anything, and what I need to do to protect my information (if necessary). thanks
