What you want to say is they wait for the deadline to pass for filing a claim.

You seem to be trying to blame the insurance companies for adhering to the contracts they have with doctors when the doctors fail to do what is necessary.

I feel like I've travelled back in time five years. @tufguy, in all that time, haven't you figured out how to express all this insurance stuff in English? We spent hours and hours and hours on it then and I have no desire to do it again now.

I have rethought what I said in post #2. It's not the insurance companies that file claims. Therefore, it can't be their fault if the claim is filed past the deadline.

I would like to know whether we can say "time to be over" or not and "time limit to pass by"? Do we need to use "be" before over?

There is, as far as I know, no such thing as a "claim timely filing limit". Furthermore, "the time to be over for claim filing" can only be "deadline".

Insurance companies don't file claims. The doctor's office does that. You can disagree with me all you want.

The crucial question is whether the claim is submitted before or after the deadline. Claims submitted ater the dealine is not valid as per insurance policy.

You don't coin your own terms like "claim timely filing limit".

I'm afraid that's not true. He does do that -- regularly.

Are my sentences correct apart from "timely filing limit"?

Try to rewrite your sentences, replacing that part with something else, and we'll comment on the new sentences.
