Sometimes the insurance companies don't pay the full amount of your medical bills so the remaining amount you are responsible for. You should also check w/ your insurance company to see if you have a hospital co-pay b/c if you do, the hospital 9 times out of 10 won't make you pay it up front, but will send you a statement in the mail. I know this for sure b/c I have a $50 hospital copay and if i have to stay in the hospital over night, my copay is $250 and i have utilized both and in eaither situation, they didn't ask me for my copay, but sent me a statment in the mail saying that i owe them the money.

Again it could be a simple as you disputing them in writing with documentation proving that you were on medicare or medicaid. I know they pay for all medical expenses. So you might not be so bad off :D

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it be a good idea
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it be a good idea to contact the medical offices to find out why the entire bill was not paid by Medicaid? I would think that would be the place to start, rather than with the credit bureau.

SueBEe is right- I would contact Medicaid first. It might something as simple as they made a mistake and didn't deduct what they were supposed to. They can check out the recods listed, and see what happened. Give it a shot, it might be worth the phone call. Good Luck...Karen

If it were me, I would start first with calling the hospital, double check the SSN on your bill and with the hospital, document your conversation and then contact Medicare.
