UNINSURED HEALTH-CARE EXPENSES
In order for the Friend of the Court to assist you in seeking reimbursement for uninsured medical expenses you have incurred on behalf of your
minor child(ren), the following procedure must be followed:
1.
A copy of all uninsured medical bills must be sent to the opposing party first; and, you must allow the other party a reasonable period of
time to resolve the issue. If the issue remains unresolved after 28 days, enforcement by Friend of the Court may be requested by using
the following procedure below:
Complete the ATTACHED FORM and provide PHOTOCOPIES OF EACH BILLING STATEMENT/RECEIPT. Every statement/receipt
must contain the following information:
•
DATE OF SERVICE
•
FEE/AMOUNT CHARGED
•
NAME OF HEALTH CARE PROVIDER
•
NAME OF PATIENT (CHILD)
•
TYPE OF SERVICE (FLU, BROKEN ARM, COUNSELING, ETC.)
•
CANNOT INDICATE “BALANCE OWING” WITH NO ACCEPTABLE PROOF OF
PAYMENT BY YOU
(e.g., you cannot indicate, in your handwriting, that you paid a certain amount with check
number “x” on statements, etc.)
•
IF FOR ORTHODONTICS, THE ORTHODONTIA CONTRACT
MUST BE SUBMITTED
•
EACH MEDICAL BILL/STATEMENT SHOULD INDICATE THE AMOUNT SUBMITTED TO,
OR PAID BY, THE INSURANCE CARRIER AND/OR THE AMOUNT BILLED TO, OR PAID
BY THE PARENT
AN INSURANCE COMPANY EXPLANATION OF BENEFITS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE BILLING STATEMENT.
THIS OFFICE HAS CONVERTED TO A PAPERLESS SYSTEM. THEREFORE, ANY MEDICAL BILL/RECEIPT, ORIGINAL OR COPY,
WILL BE DESTROYED BY THIS OFFICE ONCE IT HAS BEEN SCANNED INTO OUR SYSTEM, THEREFORE, PLEASE SUBMIT
“COPIES”. ALSO, PLEASE DO NOT USE HIGHLIGHTER ON THE BILLING STATEMENTS AS IT WILL BE ILLEGIBLE ONCE IT HAS
BEEN SCANNED INTO OUR SYSTEM.
Most recent court orders indicate that the custodial parent must meet an annual ordinary medical amount each year before the
other party is responsible for his/her percentage, therefore, please take this into consideration. However, if you are the non-
custodial party that is submitting the uninsured medical expenses, the custodial party will not have to meet the annual ordinary
medical amount.
Upon receipt of uninsured medical expenses that include acceptable proof of payment by the complaining party, the Friend of the Court
will enforce the uninsured medical expense issue pursuant to the controlling court order. Further, the Friend of the Court must submit a
notice to the responding party indicating the amount that the complaining party has incurred “out-of-pocket”; and, what the responding
party’s share is toward those “out-of-pocket” expenses (uninsured medical expenses paid by the complaining party). The required notice is
submitted to the responding party and must include copies of all paid uninsured medical expenses; and, the responding party is allowed
21 days to resolve the issue directly with the complaining party. If the matter remains unresolved after 21 days, then the Friend of the
Court can administratively add the responding party’s share toward the uninsured medical expenses to the child account as an arrearage
if the responding party is the payer of support. If the complaining party is the payer of support, the Friend of the Court can administratively
credit the child support account in the amount owing by the responding party. The amount that is administratively added to the “medical
reimbursement” account will be collected as an arrearage (meaning, the amount(s) owing will not be collected in one lump sum).
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THE FRIEND OF THE COURT IS NOT A COLLECTION AGENCY FOR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS.
THE FRIEND OF THE COURT ONLY ENFORCES ISSUES WHEREBY MONEY IS OWING TO ONE PARTY BY THE OTHER PARTY.
PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN ENTERING INTO AN ORTHODONTIA CONTRACT WHEREBY THE UNINSURED
ORTHODONTIA EXPENSES CAN BE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. IF YOU ARE THE PARTY THAT SIGNS THE ORTHODONTIA
CONTRACT, THEN YOU ARE CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED TO PAY THE UNINSURED ORTHODONTIA EXPENSES TO THE
ORTHODONTIST.
PURSUANT TO MICHIGAN LAW, NO UNINSURED MEDICAL EXPENSE WILL BE ACCEPTED/ENFORCED BY THIS
OFFICE IF THE DATE OF SERVICE IS OLDER THAN THE PRECEDING ONE (1) YEAR
, or if the date of service was prior
