Missouri to Study Timeliness of Health Insurers' Reimbursements.

The Missouri department of Insurance is studying something doctors and insurance customers already know, health insurance companies do not pay timely. Anyone who has had a medical problem and had to deal with the doctors, hospitals and insurance company EOB's knows the games insurance companies play. Despite clear regulatory rules for the fair treatment of insured in Missouri the Department has done a poor job of holding health insurance companies accountable for the fair and timely resolution of claims. Hopefully, this study will demonstrate the need for action by the department.
