But she also stated not to worry that I don't owe all of that she just had not filed it. She was not on my insurance after all, but never told me that fell through. As a single mom, I couldn't pay more than the co-pay. Well I ended up getting married and then she slapped us with over a $1,500 bill all at once. I was very shocked that she lied to me and then slapped us with the outstanding bill that she said 'she'd work it out' all the time.
