Thanks sam444.  It was the strangest letter I've had since....probably since last year when they probably sent an earlier one.

Aside from fraudulent claims being addressed, I am with you all the way! sam

Well Pat, I did turn 73 a couple of weeks ago so I suppose that puts me in the official old farts league - to be neither seen nor heard.

LOL.  That's how it struck me at first, majroj - bizarre.

I should know that by this time BC, but I'm forever being nonplussed by officialdom.

So now that you've been seen, you're not to be heard.
How interesting to have an official second childhood.

If you did not receive this letter, notify us immediately or be fined.

I appreciate that LadybugJudy.  What was confusing me was the manner of replying.  How many people are going to simply throw the letter away without checking any dates, screwing up any stats?  

But I just had a thought - thank you LadybugJudy.  I knew that I had been to the Doc's on that particular day, so I won't reply anyway - but any patient who DIDN'T SEE A DOC ON THAT DAY is going to be pretty peed off AT THE dOC for charging the health service for a non existent call, and they will definitely send back the form.

It was I who needed to look at things from a different angle - I'll never make a mystery writer!

Well maybe, But since there is allot of Insurance fraud now and is getting worse.  If an insurance company has reason to believe that a particular doctor's office or person is billing for services not received.  The only way they would know is to send out letters to their clients requesting whether they were seen a particular date.
