I'm 18 years old and currently in college. We're a poor family so I am on medicaid.
Recently, I have come to find out that an appointment that I went to in January, with a doctor that I have been going to for nearly 2 years for a recurring appointment due to chronic health problem that I have, didn't use my medicaid for this appointment for some reason. Every other appointment has been paid for by my insurance, so I am not sure why this is happening. My father is now being charged $1,150 as he is my guarantor, but he claims that he never received any bill--and I believe him because I've only been back to school for one month and I would have found the bill when I was back home.
I believe this bill has since gone to a collection agency, and I'm not sure what to do anymore. I believe I was covered during this time, so should I be contacting the hospital's billing agency? Also, will this do something to my credit score? Thank you so much.
