Medical bill from 3 years ago arrives today.

Question

I received a bill today from the hospital for medical expenses incurred in May 2021, and I remember that I already received and paid the bill around June 2021. I guess it could be the rest of the bill or something since the bill amount is different, but is it possible to get a bill that is 3 years old?

I changed insurance companies in January 2024, so is that why I am being charged something, or is it not the hospital's or insurance company's fault for not being able to bill me three years ago? Am I obligated to pay it?

I am going to call the hospital on Monday, but if anyone has any information, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately, sometimes I get a bill when I forget about it. At any rate, I would check
what the bill ？ is now and then ask the previous insurance company ？ if this is something that has to be paid or not covered.
I'm not sure the hospital or insurance company would be liable unless it was a serious mistake.
"Oh, I forgot, you have to pay." So it's like.

In my case, on the contrary, last year I had to pay back the premium amount for a treatment that I was told was not covered by insurance. The treatment cost was several years ago. When I inquired about it, I was told that it took a long time to process the paperwork due to the office being closed due to Corona.

Dear Magires
Thank you for your advice. I checked with the hospital and Bill had sent it immediately after the clinic. He said that he had not received a single prompt after that, so he probably forgot about it. Also, I checked my credit card history and it seems that I did not pay for the year 2021, so I paid this time.


Dear rak
Thank you for sharing your valuable experience. I understand that it is possible to get back the other way around. I have been living in Hawaii for 7 years now and I thought I had a lot of things figured out, but this is the first time I have been baptized by a late bill.


Thank you both for your valuable stories. This time we resolved the issue by saying that the hospital forgot to bill you and I also forgot to pay. I am glad it was not a big surprise amount.

I'm glad it was resolved. The first thing I would say is that I'm glad it wasn't a big surprise amount.
