It turns out I don’t care. We all went through the same thing. Plenty of people were out of work entirely and didn’t have the opportunity to do work for which they could send a bill four years later. We all figured it out. My wife was pregnant with twins in a high-risk situation from February through October 2020 and somehow those bills, from labs and specialists alike, managed to get sent in time. Those providers dealt with it. The firm in OP’s question could have figured it out too.Is absolutely everyone, except bombcar, overlooking that this bill was probably being generated at the same time the COVID pandemic was declared?Even the IRS is still coming out from under a backlog generated in 2020. It should be no surprise that some medical billing went astray and some things that fell through the cracks are just now being rectified. I think we will be seeing more of these "late" bills.
- Remember when everything in our world came to a halt?
Nobody knew whether or how to go to work?
Remote employment for ordinary jobs didn't exist yet?
The entire medical profession was busy just trying to stay alive and figure out how people could say goodby to their dying loved ones by videochat?
I don't know if there are any laws about when they can bill, but lots of deadlines get extended or paused during a crisis. This certainly seems to qualify. Even if there are some rules about this, they may not apply because of the enormity of the situation in this country during that time.
