Health insurance advice please...
When my son was born, I was covered in my mother's health insurance, but my son wasn't. He had serious medical issues and instead of his insurance getting billed, they billed my mom's. My mom's insurance paid his bills and now, two years later, they want their money back. It's a large amount of money and we've contacted both hospitals he was treated at, his insurance company, and they're all saying it's too late. My moms insurance just got cancelled. Does anyone have any advice.

I would definitely suggest talking to a lawyer. It sounds like negligence on the hospital's behalf. I don't get how your mom's insurance is even being billed given that your son wasn't even insured with them at all. Shouldn't the insurance company know it he wasn't under them? Why should they even have a record of him at all? That sounds odd.
Thanks for the responses. My son had Medicaid. He passed away, but I still had his old card to give them information. He was covered from birth. My mom is going to try to consult a lawyer.
This is why I'm glad I live in Canada. I remember you and I can only imagine how upsetting this is for them to bring to you now. I'd say contact the hospital again since they are the ones who billed the wrong insurance and see what they can do, they cannot expect you to pay when he WAS insured.
Yikes! So your son had his own insurance at the time? This is definitely the hospital's mistake. Unfortunately like pp stated, after 1 year it is too late to send the claims to the other insurance. I'm hoping the hospital doesn't try to bill you, I would refuse to pay for their screw up. Does your son happen to have insurance through Medicaid? If so, at least where I live, it would be illegal for them to bill you directly.
Thanks ladies. I called his insurance company too and they said it was too late. Idk what to do.
When I had my youngest two my insurance company covered them for the first 30 days. If I wanted to continue coverage with that company for my kids I could, or I could cover them under a different company. Do you have a copy of the insurance company's policy? You can probably google it if you don't. Read the policy and see what it says in regards to coverage of infants after birth. Hope you are able to get it straightened out quickly, insurance companies can be a pain to deal with.
I work in medical billing and providers have 1 year from the date of service to file their bills with my company. I'm on the insurance side of things and if the year has passed we won't pay it. You could possibly argue that the bill was submitted within the 1 year but it went to the wrong insurance company. I would definitely call and try to work with them and find some other options.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Y’all please please be careful and monitor what these babies are watching on YouTube thank god my baby didn’t understand what the thing was saying he showed me the phone and said “scary mama” I think continued to listen to what the thing was saying and I was livid and horrified it was explaining to my son how to kill the whole family while everyone was asleep
My husband and I aren’t exactly strangers when it comes to relationship challenges 💞. We have been together for 14 years and married for eight, so we’ve definitely gone through some growing pains as we navigated a long-distance relationship in college and our first year living together as a married 👫 couple.
But nothing has challenged our relationship quite like our first year as 👪 parents .
Before you have your first child, you have these grand ideas of what it will be like. There’s more slee...
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...
They need to be contacting the hospital to collect the money they gave to them and not you! It's not like you received a dime from them anyways.
Sorry to hear about your son ☹️.
