Can a creditor sue you for a doctor bill if you weren't the policy holder on the insurance?
Yes. If you were the person who received the services and signed for them, you are responsible for the debt. Unless you are a minor. If the policy holder signed the papers for medical care they are responsible for any charges not covered by the insurance. It was my children that received the service, not me. Am I still responsible? A parent or legal guardian must give authorization and accept responsibility for the charges resulting from medical treatment provided to their children at the time of that treatment. You probably signed a form (this is sometimes on the "sign-in" sheet itself). Even without your signature, since the recipient of the treatment is your child, your liability is presumed. The name on the insurance policy, its' coverage and the outcome have no bearing on the issue. The insurance company did not receive treatment, your child did. Why would you not want to pay a bill to someone who cared for your child? Medical facilities file insurance claims as a courtesy. They are not obligated to do this and they are certainly not obligated to wait for payment from insurance (regardless of who's name is on the policy) or remain unpaid. They, like any creditor, have the option of filing suit against consumers who owe them money.
