Whether you realize it or not, this is exactly what they do. Insurance companies _intentionally_ lose claims. Years ago I wrote a Dental Office Billing Package for a company. We continually resent claims automatically until they were paid, because this _method_ of handling claims is well known in the insurance industry.
