We have something similar happening with the Medicare bill from my wife's joint specialist. It seems the office manager forgot to submit the bill to Medicare over two years ago and because of her issues she was finally fired. So the new office manager wants us to pay the $400+ amount as when she submitted the bill to the gov't they said to pack it! So I told the doctors office they will have to eat the bill and the manager said my wife can't see the doctor for any more visits but she has been going monthly anyways? The doctor said not to worry about it so we don't.

The bill was put on her credit report as a non payment but I had it removed after they found out what had happened so no ill effect. So far no collection company has called or written us as I don't think any of those crooks want to mess with it? If it were me I would only pay any actual co-pays that would be normal for the original bill.
