Old Hospital Debt (BANKRUPTCY & CONSUMER CREDIT)

Tue, 18 Nov 2003 23:13:00 GMT

What is the name of your state? Louisiana
In May of 2000 my wife had surgery. We had insurance at the time. The insurance company did an audit of the hospital bill and only paid a small amount. This left a balance of about $20,000.00. The insurance company told us we didn't have to pay the balance. Now the hospital is threatening to sue. Is there a statue of limitation on this kind of debt? How should we procee?

  • Boy, you need an awful lot more details from the insurance company. Did you get that in writing with their reasoning?
    I'd suggest a complaint to the state Insurance Commissioner and, the AG's office.
