You need to sit down with a rep from the hospital and sort this all out and come to a settlement before the collection fees double or triple what she owes.
In the big scheme of things 2K does not seem like an insurmountable debt or something a 22 yr old cannot figure out how to pay. Hope she is back to normal very soon.
In the case of an automobile accident, the auto insurance pays first, as they did. This would not affect her deductible through her personal (employer group) health insurance; she would still pay that. It sounds like the insurance companies are handling it correctly. There are probably several doctors and/or service providers involved, so it would be a good idea to contact each one. Presumably the health insurance has paid something to those providers?
I see everybody here saying that she pays the deductible regardless, however that did not happen when Mr G had a car accident.
Our car insurance covered the deductible plus some, and we never paid a penny. I guess you should talk to both the insurance companies to find out the scoop.
why are the lawyers contacting you? to help or is there a claim against her? you might want to freep mail me.
