About Tricia
Expertise
Has your medical insurance company denied your claim and refuses to pay? Have
you received a pre-authorization and still your insurance company
refuses to pay? How can you get your insurance company to reverse a
denied claim? How do you get a provider to waive your copayment if you
are financially unable to pay? Can a provider sue you for a unpaid bill and
will they? Can a provider send me to a collection agency for a medical bill?
If my insurance company does not pay, am I responsible? If you have these questions or others on why your insurance company is not paying your bills, I can help. I can give you "tricks of the trade" to get your insurance company to pay.
I have limited knowledge on Medicare and Medicaid and that is not my expertise. Each state is very different regarding Medicare and Medicaid so you need to review their website when you have questions. So please no Medicare or Medicaid questions!!
Experience
In the medical field for over 20 years spending majority of time in the collections aspect.

Question
Hello I live in Ilinois .. My fiance was in an accident and fractured his L1 vertebrea almost becoming paralized. Has been in the hospital for a week. He has no insurance and is self employeed last year he claimed 2800. We were told that he is ineligible for medicaid due to being self employeed by hospital staff. We are supposed to be married in 2 weeks. If we get married will his medical debt automatically become my debt? I am being told different things and I am so scared. What would you suggest? Are there any other avenues?
Answer
Hi Jennifer!
Not really sure since this is a legal question not a medical question.
Most hospitals have a "charity care" program where it pays for most of a hospital bill or sometimes all of it. Ask the hospital if they have such a program for those who do not have insurance coverage. If they do not, contact your state to see if they has such programs. I think I would try to figure out a way to get the bills paid.
Good Luck!
