Apparently so.I recently received a letter informing me that I was being sued for a hospital bill from 2005 that I had never received a bill for.Luckily I was able to set up a payment plan and keep it from going to court and becoming a judgment against me.
a popular misconception among people is that as long as i pay them a little every month they cannot sue me but that's incorrect. its up to the hospital if they want to accept your payment plan.
I might not understand your question completely correctly, but I'll try my best. If you received a bill for last year and you paid it off completely, there would not be any reason to hold back this year's tax refund. That assumes that you are entitled to a tax refund this year, of course. The reason that you get a tax refund every year is because you have more taxes withheld from your paycheck each week than is required. You could get a larger paycheck each week instead of a tax refund if you properly completed Form W-4 which you give to your employer. On the other hand, if you did not pay the bill from last year, then some or all of this year's refund will be retained to help pay your debt. If you just recently paid this bill off, it may be possible that your payment hasn't registered in the system yet and your refund will be delayed. If you have paid the bill from last year and they are still holding your refund, contact the IRS at the number given on the notice they sent you.
yes some insurances make that option available to pay online
Yes, a hospital can bill you for the balance that Medicaid does not pay. This is known as a patient responsibility or co-pay. It is important to check with your hospital and understand your financial responsibilities before receiving healthcare services.
