Re: medical benefits through work
Pursuant to Labor Code, Section 4600, the employer is to pay all costs for a work-related injury. However, this depends on whether a case was denied or accepted.
To answer your question, he should not have to pay anything if the case was accepted and the medical insurance company should file a lien in his comp case so to protect your fiancee from any deductibles.
Better yet, just hire an attorney because those who do not usually get the short end of the stick. Feel free to contact my office at, 818.385.0520 for a free consultation.
