More details to this question:
Recieved a bill 3 years after service i called and questioned why so late they said my insurance denied the claim so i got in touch with the insurance and they told me it was denied because the hospital did not file the claim in a timely manner and now the hospital is claiming that it was not from thier end and that the insurance had lost the claim and processed it late so the bills becomes my responsibility so now its a blame game and im stuck on what steps can i take from here?

This problem happens all too frequently. You need to notify the Hospital to provide you with all records showing their timely submission of the claim to the insurer. You need to notify the insurer that you will require proof of the untimely submission of the bills and waiver by the Hospital. Should any legal action be brought, both the insurer and the hospital should be parties to the same proceeding.
