Got a dispute with your health insurer?

If so, the Maryland Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division is offering free help.

The Division’s Health Education and Advocacy Unit can help resolve billing or medical equipment disputes and assist you if your health plan refused to cover a medical procedure or pay for a medical service.

“Many consumers are unaware of the resources available to them when their insurance carrier has denied coverage and they either choose to do without necessary medical treatment or pay out of pocket for procedures that may indeed be covered,” the attorney general’s office said in a press release.

Reach the Health unit Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at 410-528-1840 or toll-free at 887-261-8807.

You can also file a complaint online at http://www.oag.state.md.us/Consumer/HEAU.htm.

Or, write to the unit at: The Health Education and Advocacy Unit, Consumer Protection Division 200 Saint Paul Place, 16th Floor Baltimore, Maryland 21202
