Answer 1

You mean she never paid the balance after the insurance paid and you don't think the hospital was paid either?

At this point, since the claim is so old, it has resolved itself one way or another-either it WAS paid or it went to collection.

Even if the insurance was billed for it now, they are not obligated  and wouldn't pay it now since it's so old. There really isn't any need to do anything. Let it rest.
