Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida
My wife was in a car accident and was going to the dostors for the injury. As we were settling the case we asked her docotr is all of his bills have been paid. At which time he said yes.
We got our settlement and two months later a doctor submitted another bill that had been denied by the insurance carrier.
They have put in a claim to her now for payment of this bill.
Do we have any ability to say that we had already been given information from the doctor that he was paid in full and this bill came in afterwards?

If you have in writing that no further bills were do, then yes. Otherwise, pay the bill.
Under the Personal Injury Portion of your medical car insurance, generally speaking, the doc gets paid 80% of the bill from your insurance. If the insurance co denies the bill because the doc failed to follow the law in some way, you owe nothing. If the bill he is sending to you is the 20%, then you owe it, but generally the attorney representing you can get it reduced or waived. You need to speak to your attorney re this.
