It is unlikely that a tax refund would be garnished for past due medical bills.
Generally refunds can only be garnished for certain things, and medical bills really aren't one.
Tax refunds are garnished in instances of:
child support arrearages
past due federal tax
past due state income tax
unpaid federal student loans
government program repayments
However, if you deposit it into an account that they have the right to garnish, the funds lose their identity as a tax refund.
