My father came to USA and stayed with us for 6 months He had taken insurance with ICICI Lombard in India. Just 3 days before departure he we had to rush him to hospital by calling 911 due to a medical emergency. He was admitted to the hospital for 24 hours and the hospital bill came close to $20K. We submitted the claim to ICICI Lombard and today I heard that they denied the claim.
Now my wuestion is : I am unable to pay this huge bill. Can the hospital inform USCIS and my father would have issues re-entering the country if we don't pay the hospital dues? I am already getting bills from collection agencies. Can the collection agency do something againt me?

Thank You very Much!
 
Firstly, sorry to hear about your father's illness. I hope he is doing well now.
Secondly, did you send an I-134 with regards to your father's visa application?

I reccommend that you purchase the insurance from a US based company next time so that your valid claims are properly paid.
