    Default Medical Bill for a Minor

    My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Colorado
    My daughter was seen in the ER when she was 17, she is now 18. I lost my job and have no money to pay this medical bill, we have no insurance. If I am unable to pay this, will they start billing her or will it go to my credit?

    If she was a minor on the date the service was performed, the bill is the responsibility of the legal guardian and that's who they'll go after. They might bill her too, in hopes of getting paid, but if they end up suing or dinging credit reports, they'll go after you.

    Since she was under 18 at the time of the service, agree - your responsibility.
    (not that they might not try to collect from your daughter)
