Consider all options when third-party benefits are paid in error.
For many healthcare providers, the greatest problem with third-party payers is getting them to pay the benefits they are contractually obligated to pay. However, another problem that arises consistently--thought less frequently--is what to do when a third-party payer provides benefits that it is not contractually bound to make and then demands the payment be refunded. One answer to this problem may be to just say "no."
