Are physicians allowed to bill our children?

Bill had a physical for special olympics performed by his MD in September.

Payment was denied by the state so was sent a bill for $195. This is his

Atnea MD under the new plan, and I don't want an unpaid bill to prevent care in

the future. Is this legal to bill my Bill? Is responsible for this? Am I

responsible?

I plan to return the bill with a copy of his public aide card; not a check; as a

first step. But I'm questioning the principle.
