If the person that received the treatment was an adult at the time of the treatment being initiated then the onus is on him/her to pay for it. the parents have no responsibility in the matter.
Parents shouldn't be responsible for adult children.
yes definitely!
It is not the parents, but the estate that is responsible for any remaining debts. That will include medical bills. If there is not enough in the estate to cover them, someone will not get paid.
The estate is responsible for the medical debts. The exception would be if the children were the insurance holder or co-signed the medical agreement.
Yes unless they way over 200 pounds
Parents are responsible for their children until they reach the age of majority or are emancipated.
Not unless the parents entered into a contract with the hospital, doctor, etc. that provided the care.
Probably not. They might be in some circumstances, such as if the adult children were developmentally disabled, but where the adult children live is not really a factor.
Some medical insurance plans will cover an adult child up to about age 24 under certain circumstances. Some plans will cover them if they are in college, living at home or are permanent dependents of the parents.
If the student is over 18, they are an adult; therefore, if they received medical treatment, they are legally responsible for the bill. The fact that they are a dependant doesn't matter.
If the child is over age 18, then the parent is not responsible for the child's medical bills. The child is legally responsible for anything that the insurance policy did not pay.
