		<description><![CDATA[Having been in a similar situation I would say &quot;no&quot;.  Why? Your chiropractor knows there is a limited amount of time to file with an insurance company for payment. Usually about a year. After that, the insurance company is not obligated  to pay the claim.  Pretty much neither are you. Why? you didn&#039;t hire his/her accounts receivable clerk.  Your chiropractor has a professional responsibility to handle the billing end of their practice along with the treatment end.  5 years late is beyond &quot;reasonable&quot; to bill. They screwed up and probably with more than just you. This is sort of a fishing trip to see who bites on their office&#039;s lack of follow through.  

It is basically stating &quot;I can&#039;t run my business professionally, please cover for my mistakes.&quot;  I wouldn&#039;t ignore them, I would talk to them about it and state why I didn&#039;t feel the need to pay.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#039;s an interesting question! It sounds as if you admit that you&#039;ve used the Chiropractor&#039;s services, and that you are admitting that the bill in question is legitimate. If that&#039;s the case, it also seems like at the time you might have realized there was a mistake in the billing if you&#039;d not had to pay? Perhaps they&#039;ve had a billing issue , and they&#039;ve just now found it (stranger things have happened). Unless you can show you have already paid for the service, yes, morally at least you&#039;re obligated to pay, and most likely legally also. I&#039;m absolutely certain that paying them will be infinitely better for you than having the bill go to collections and having a debt company buying it and getting a hefty judgement against you while trashing your credit (that&#039;s a multibillion dollar business, by the way). If you owe it, pay. Thanks for asking!]]></description>
