California Recovery Bureau, Inc.

C.R.B. contacted via phone to collect payment for medical services provided by Dr. Campbell on Jan 12/13/14/15, 2007 in Sept. 2010. The last correspondence with CRB was in August 2008 at which time I wrote them a letter (August 23, 2008) explaining that Tricare was not billed for services for Jan 12/13/14, 2007. Tricare paid for amount not covered by BlueCrossBlueShield for Jan. 15, 2007. I explained to CRB of the situation, and the collector responded that since it is too late (Tricare will only pay for services up to one year after services was provided)to make a claim to Tricare now, I am responsible for the unpaid amount. It seems unfair that due to negligence of the doctor's office/CRB to make a claim in a timely manner from the insurance company that an individual must bear the burden.
