"if i'm wrong but doesn't the hospital have to ok insurance before they even let you in the operating room?"
I believe they normally try to. I would talk to the hospital and I would also file an appeal with your father's insurance company.
Yea i wish the medicade/medicare went back but i called my case worker and he said it does not go back any (maybe it's just cause of the state i live in) but who knows? I know since it wasn't my insurance it was my dads i can't do anything and my dad just seems like he doesn't give a ****, i'm 20 years old and my credit is already going to be ruined for the rest of my life. Nope his insurance didn't cover 1 penny of it.. i just don't know what to do 1 of the bills has already been turned into a collection agency. That one is only like $300 but i'm really going to be screwed when they turn that 7,000..... 3,000..... and another 3,000 into collections ( yes i'm about $14,000 in debt right now) But thanks for hoping everything goes well that very kind of you.
