Insurance

so I just found out today that my insurance was canceled and had to pay out of pocket for my doctors appointment. My insurance company said that they had sent me papers in the mail and I never got them I've lived at the same address over 6 years. I love in a apartment complex btw. I wrote a email and now they said I make too much money in my household. I live with my boyfriend who is jobless and I had to take leave from work because I'm a high risk pregnancy. My boyfriend is looking for a job but this is crazy how the hell do I make too much money?!?!?

My father ruined my credit he took a card out in my name without me knowing so all bills are paid ASAP. so before I went in for the testing they said they had needed to be paid in full so I used my collage fund that I had been saving up for the last 3 years which now is the baby fund

I'm not sure it's a good idea to ignore a bill.  Eventually your credit will be ruined and the doctor won't see you again.

Really,  "everyone else" doesn't throw away their bills - if they get picked up by medicaid that's great,  but just ignoring bills and hoping for the best will ruin your life - including possible criminal charges of "theft of service".

I'm sorry that has be luxury pay that off at once.I would let that bill sit there on table or throwed in trash like everyone else.Medicaid approved me in week.I was with them before though.Any bills go unpaid once you get approve by insurance they will pay them.That 650.00 could still been in your pocket.

I would definetly call and talk to someone over the phone - emails are so easy to ignore, or be put off on answering.
Hardly makes sense that you're making too much money for them... They should have called you to discuss what was happening.
I don't have any experience with America. insurance, mind you. But I swear our health system in Canada isn't any better :( (Like deciding I don't exist after living in the same province for 30 years!)
