I can't deal with him anymore, but the kids are suffering

You definitely aren't being too hard on him.  I have a difficult stupid, "I think with my little head" ex--and I know what you are talking about, trust me.  He left me for a two-bit tramp and moved in with her all fine and dandy type of thing and hardly sees the kids anymore or calls them, well he calls the oldest because he has a cell phone, but doesn't talk to the youngest son at all.  I don't push the issue because I feel the phone goes both ways!!  But what your ex is doing is committing insurance fraud and that's not right at all.  Those benefits belong to your son not to him and that's just low down and totally sick on his part.  Good for you for calling the insurance company and getting his ass busted, he deserves it.  He shouldn't expect you to pay his medical bills for him, he's a big boy now and can pay his own way--I say you play you pay!! :)  You know I don't have a problem with being mean or wicked to my ex--because he deserves every minute of it the way he treats his kids like they are second class citizens and all.  He can do whatever he wants to me--yell at me, call me names--I don't really care, but don't screw with my kids!!  Which is what he's doing with not seeing them for visitation because he's too whipped by his two-bit tramp ho--oh well I always say Karma has a way of biting them in the ass big time sooner or later!! I'd rather it be sooner!! :)

hey everyone!!  Miracle of Miracles....I called the hospital again today to check on this.  They "adjusted" the bill, changed the name to the proper person and are mailing it to his house.  All I did was call my insurance company.  THANK YOU all for your support!!

I checked my insurance cards.  Mark and our son have the same name except for the middle name.  My ex is Mark E and our son is Mark A.  The only difference in the cards is the actual number associated with each person and the fact that Mark E is listed at dependant 2 and little Mark is listed as dependant 4.  I have no idea why he has my son's insurance card.  I also looked and I don't have his so this has to be some sort of a scam by him.  The insurance company won't cover it.  The proceedure was for a 36 year old man, not a 7 year old child.  I could scream.  I thought it was an honest mistake, but me not having the card means he went thru my wallet at some point because we haven't been together in 2 years.  The insurance was purchased less than a year ago thru my company.  Hopefullly, the hospital will take care of it.

There is no way that any credible medical provider would let this happen.  They check date of births and social security numbers.  This is crazy.   Report him to the appropriate authorities.  He needs help.  Hang in there and do not stoop to his level on this.  Rise above it for the kids sake.  Good Luck

There is no way a grown man can use his sons info on the insurance. Did he get medical care for the gf's child? Does she have a son about your son's age?  That medical record will follow your son for the rest of his life. You do need to get to the bottom of this.
And if he has done that I would have him taken off the insurance so it doesn't happen again.

I have no idea what he's trying to do.  I called the health care provider about it and I have to fax stuff to them tomorrow.  My son is 7 years old.  His insurance is being billed for an MRI and some other things.  The billing department is trying to work with me.  Yet one more thing for me to want to go homicidal about
