The debt is void if request for payment has not been made in 7 years. If they contact you, requesting payment, every 6 years the debt is still valid until bankruptcy or death.

I'm a lawyer.  There are two issues here:  does failure to pay on time invalidate the policy and does acceptance of a late payment constitue a waiver of the insurer's remedies against you.  The answer to the first part is yes -- your late payments are a breach of the contract and the policy can be cancelled.  I have experienced this first hand.  I was late making an insurance payment the month my son was born and I nearly got saddled with over $50,000 in medical bill.  The difference between your situation and mine is that the insurance company was smart enough NOT to initially accept the payment.  (Eventually, they accepted it and granted coverage once they realized that they failed post it to the proper account).  They knew that if they accepted payment you would argue that they have agreed to continue the policy as long as they will continue accepting your money.  This is a common sense argument.  Once they take your money, EVEN AFTER IT BECAME OVERDUE, you can then argue that they have waived the remedies of your breach:  translation : they must honor the policy because they were happy to take your money, so now they must pay out on the policy.  If you are local in Florida get in touch with me.

Contact your local Social Services department and set up an appointment.  Bring all medical bills you have for the last 6 months, as that is as far back as they pay.\n\nYou could also check with the Salvation Army or Catholic Charities.

Most states have laws that state you have legal rights to your own medical records but almost all of them also say that the institution can charge you for the copies,etc. Sorry your just SOL

I can't find anything online.  If your letter has a phone number to call, or an office address, you'll need to contact them that way.  If the claim is for medical care at a physician or facility, they can usually give you a claim form at the time you are seen.\ngood luck

It's pretty easy if you know what count the treatment took place you can do a medical search with your social security #..Usually family agency can help you with this. if not narrow down your area at the time of treatment and it should be rather easy to find the facility that would have treated your particular condition at that time. then just submit a formal request in accordance with the counties/facility policy.

The hospital's insurance company will repond very quickly to a lawsuit. There's really nothing else you can do unless in your state it is possible for you to file your own criminal case against the man. (In New York, for example, you could file a misdemeanor complaint. This is VERY effective. So long as you don't get your facs wrong and open yourself up to a civil suit.)

HIPAA really doesn't have a whole lot to do with the billing aspect. As long as the patient signs a consent form allowing you to bill on their behalf, you can. It allows you to release any information needed to the insurance company to get the claim payed.

There is a statute to limitations, and in most states it's 7 years. Meaning after 7 years it's too late to file a claim against you.

Yes, it looks like you'll want to wait til June 1st if you want the insurance to cover the visit.  It's only 7 days from now. \nDouble check your card, sometimes the co-pay is a bit higher for specialists (like gynecologists) than it is for a regular doctor. \nThe easiest thing to do would be to call the doctors office and give them the info from your card, they'll let you know what you can expect to pay.

You have to have permission from your doctor, it's normally 6 weeks, as if you have an accident your insurance can be void

I'm assuming you meant to say you CANNOT pay for your medicine.  Are you enrolled in Medicare's Drug Program?  If not, WHY not?  There are many senior-friendly organizations with people who can help you make sense out of the drug-benefit program.  Try contacting them, OK?

You do have the right to an itemized bill. You need to request it in writting and keep all correspondence. You can also work out a payment plan with most hospitals. Hospitals can charge whatever they want, but they must charge everyone equally. If you have an insurange that is accepted at that hospital, what the hospital recieves from your insurance is what the insurance company finds what they call reasonable and customary. so if the hospital charges 1200 for something and they insurance say well pay 780 and they accept this insurance that is what is paid to the hospital.
