Background

A German citizen on a business trip in the United States suffered a serious injury that required immediate hospital treatment at a private hospital in Florida. The treatment costs were covered by a German medical operator under a corporate health agreement and then filed on a recourse basis against the American insurer. The insurer confirmed that the event was covered, but repeatedly extended the document review. After 173 days of unsuccessful attempts to secure payment, the matter was referred for debt recovery handling.
