[QUOTE="DDD, post: 568423, member: 35"] I truly wish that I had an answer for you but I don't. I do know that difficult child#1 had a brain injury at age 18 and he had BCBS at that time via his bioMom. Following his surgery at ORMC he was transferred to a Rehab hospital in Jax where he stayed for quite some time. When the immediate medical crisis was over (and a little time had passed) he received bills that were for many thousands of dollars. Obviously he couldn't work and had no earnings. The business office at the Rehab hospital called about the balance due and told me...much to my surprise...that HE was the one who was responsible and that we had no obligation to pay the debt. Based on that I don't think you and your husband will be held accountable. If I were you I would get comfortable with a pad and pen, pull out the phone book and call every single medical service in your City asking for referrals for help. Depending on where you live it could take days, I know. Write down the name of each person you speak to (even if they say nothing of value) as well as the phone number and facility. Call the hospitals and ask to speak to the social services representative, the financial office...anybody and everybody. You might find one or two people who will suggest a difference resource. I'm sending hugs your way. Your plate is full for sure. I will send prayers your way. DDD [/QUOTE]
