Can creditors go after you if you don't pay your child's medical bill?
If you are required to pay your child's medical bills, you are responsible for them. Most doctors will eventually turn over the account to collectors if no action is taken. However, many of them will also take payments over time. Collectors of these bills have to follow the same rules as anyone else-- If it is a large amount of money, you might consider bankruptcy. In any case, unpaid bills will go on your credit record.

How long does a business have before turning the debt over to a collections agency?
The sooner you turn an unpaid debt over to collections, the better the chance of recovery. I would not suggest any debt over 3 years old. If it is a credit reporting agency, the debt will remain on the debtors credit report 7 years from the dilinqent date.
What if you cant pay medical bills?
There's usually some form of public assistance available to those truly in need. If you had to go to the hospital without medical coverage- most state medicaid programs offer what is called a "retro-active" coverage. If you meet the criteria set forth by the state for their medicaid program then in certain situations they will cover from that date forward. If you do not get accepted most medical provider's will bill you for 90 days then turn you over to collections, which will effect your credit score and can even lead to wage garnishment. Be careful about what types of loans you take out in emergencies. Cashloancity.com seems to be a pretty good option if needed.

What can you do if you are paying a little at a time on medical bills but it is not enough for them so they are sending you to collection agencies and ruining your credit?
Since medical bills are an unsecured debt most creditors will overlook these red flags that would show up on your credit report.You may have to pay slightly higher interest for a loan but you should be ok if you are paying everything else on time.I don't think anyone would turn you down because of slow payments for medical services.
If you're paying a med debt every month miss 1 month but send them the money you would have paid can they just send it to collections even though you already told them that you'll continue to pay?
Promises don't matter. Until the money is in their hands, the debt is unpaid and they can turn you over to Collections. With today's economy as it is, people are being sent to Collections for accounts just a day or two overdue.
