Hi
Am i respoinsible for a labcorp lab fee a thousand dollars or something if they do not spell my name correctly and my insurance company denies them? My insurance has switched to someone else july 09 so i do not know what to do about it now, since they do not spell the name right regardless of how much paper work i submitted or phone calls i missed..

Does that mean that you're now with a new carrier?
Anyway, the insurance company may deny the claim if there are errors in filing the claim correctly and also within the stipulated time. This happens often that the doctor's office misses the time line to submit the claim, which is otherwise covered under the patient's insurance and haunt the patient later on for the amount. But I'm sure there are ways to avoid paying these bills since you had a legitimate claim.
You may need to follow up both with the doctor's office and your carrier to ensure a smooth claim process.

Yes,legally you are responsible.
Do you have the written proof of your effort done to CORRECT it? Like Submitted applications to the company? You are saying you have done paperwork,that is raising some hope : )
What you need is a duplicate application,duly signed and stamped properly,clearly written "received" in behalf of the company.I think you are smart enough that time to do that?Then the ball is in your court.
