Who is responsible for payment and follow-up with the insurance company?
A. If you are 18 or over, you are legally responsible for your own account, regardless of who you live with, who has the contract with the insurance company or who claims you as a tax deduction. If the patient is under 18, BOTH parents, despite divorce or other separating agreements, or the legal guardian are responsible for payments.
