many states are very supportive of consumers and will stop medical debt

Health Claim - Balance Billing Prohibited: 
A contracted or non-contracted Florida licensed medical provider or facility
can not bill a subscriber if the HMO fails to pay a claim for a covered service.  
Florida Law prohibits providers from billing members
for covered services except for applicable co-payments, co-insurance or 
deductibles.  The medical provider or facility may bill the subscriber for 
services received that are not covered by the HMO contract.
