Can I use lack of standing and laches as defenses in a hospital bill lawsuit?
A hospital is suing me for not paying for a blood test bill that my infectious disease doctor ordered; The blood was drawn in the doctor's office. Can I use a 'lack of standing' defense since it was done at the doctor's office and not at the hospital that is suing me? I was not aware nor was I told the blood would be sent to the hospital and I did not sign a Financial Responsibility with the hospital. Additionally it has been 17 months since the date of service - is 'LACHES' a viable defense? During that time I was being treated for severe depression and addicted to Xanax. Can mental illness be used because of my decreased ability in knowing what I was doing and or agreeing to.
