Uncovered medical expenses

One more thing to add...

My husband spoke with his attorney a few days ago (which is actually another attorney at the same law firm because the attorney that represented my husband left the firm right after the hearing to start his own practice. Needless to say, it's been rather crazy, seeing as he wasn't at the hearing and he's having to keep checking back with the old attorney). He's saying that from what the order states, he understands it to mean that, regardless of whether or not the ex submits the bills in the 30 day time period, my husband still has to either pay them or petition the court for a ruling. Obviously, he's not positive of this because he wasn't the one that drew up the order. He's trying to get in touch with the old attorney to find out. Could this be a possibility, though, since there wasn't any clarification that the bills would be null and void after 30 days?

...just bumping my thread up in the hopes it will be answered.

So, my husband's attorney FINALLY got back with him and told him that he'll have to go back to court to get a formal ruling on the medical bills issue. His attorney will be arguing that his ex has waived her right to be reimbursed for past bills because she didn't follow the judge's orders. The judge said to submit them to dad 30 days from the court date. She submitted them to her LAWYER 41 days after the "due date" and her lawyer faxed them over to my husband's lawyer. Hopefully, the judge will rule in his favor.

Now, going forward, my husband just received, via certified mail, the medical expenses (co-pays and prescriptions) for the month of June from his ex. The co-pays are legit - they are actual copies of the receipts from the doctor's office, showing the check number, date and amount paid. The prescriptions, however, are just on a print-out from the pharmacy (where the ex works, btw) only showing the name of the prescriptions and their cost. It doesn't show where she's paid, the date, the amount, check numbers...nothing. Doesn't he have the right to see that she has, indeed, paid for these bills?

He has a right to see her cost for these prescriptions but not necessarily that she has paid -- just what the prescriptions COST her.

So, is the print-out that she sent sufficient enough for him to reimburse her for half? All it shows is a list of 4 or 5 medications and their amounts. It also shows how much the insurance company "saves" you. But, that's it. I saw earlier in this thread that he needs to see how much she actually paid for the prescriptions for her to be reimbursed. I just wanted to make sure that was accurate and okay for him to request that from her.

Cost = paid.
