jym, the first bill that went in DID have the ICD-9 code. A lot of providers around here were advised to put both ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes on bills during that transition period. UHC kicked them because both were listed.

In Maryland, the provider has a year to submit. Once the oncology lab billed the previous administrator for our insurance (same plan, but they changed admins) and of course, it was kicked. The lab had my current insurance card with the correct billing submission info. They never resubmitted it, but were trying to collect from me almost four years later. That was a $1200 bill they missed out on!
