Medical Bill Copay???

Medical Bill Copay???

We just got a bill from a Dr. my husband hasn't seen in over 2 years. It is for the copays to his visits dating back over 3 years ago. Are we leagally obligated to pay these? We are in CA, it was a PPO & we were never asked for the $$$ nor billed for it. This is the first we've heard of it.

I would call that doctor's office and try to get more information. If they still want you to pay, there is a great legal forum on the internet... since we can't give links, then you can find it by using a search engine and typing in "expert law" + "legal forum".

Good luck !

If your husband went to the doctor, and you didn't pay the copay, you are responsible for paying it.  Legally, I don't know.  Ethically, yes you should pay for the services you received.

Call and ask for an itemized bill, and ask why you never were billed before.  But right is right, and if he received the service and didn't pay, he should pay now.  Regardless of how long its been.
