Medical Bill Marked as Paid by Insurance but Later Reversed was not something I expected to deal with after the visit was already behind me. The claim had shown as paid. The balance had dropped.

Medical bill placed on hold due to insurance coordination of benefits delay was not the phrase I saw on the screen that day.
