Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas
Insurance refused to pay
A hospital in Texas called and told me my insurance company refused to pay a bill that happen in july of 1999. The insurance company was through my employer (railroad) the hosiptal wanted to know if I had a supplemantel insurance, I have now but then I didn't. I retired in 2000 because of medical problems. My question is do I owe them any money because the insurance should have taken care of it. and is there a statule of limitations.

Re: Insurance refused to pay
Yes, you are responsible for the debt when your insurance company doesn't pay. The statute of limitations is four years from the date the debt was due and payable.
