If I Insure My 19 Year Old Daughter Am I Responsible For Medical Bills Not Covered By Insurance

If I Insure My 19 Year Old Daughter Am I Responsible For Medical Bills Not Covered By Insurance? I did not sign any paperwork when she was admitted to the ER, she was taken there by ambulance after a car accident. The bills were coming to her in her name only, and she completed all the paperwork to apply with the hospital for financial assistance.

Then all of a sudden the bills changed to my name as the responsible party and her as the Patient name. Am I now responsible for these bills?

Is your daughter covered by medical insurance?
