    Your question does not have an easy or simple answer.

    When you receive treatment from a medical provider you accept financial responsibility for claims not paid by your health insurance carrier.

    The health insurance company is a guarantor of sorts (if you have a fully insured plan) but there may also be other carriers backing them up.

    With self funded health insurance your employer or union is the guarantor and they may have reinsurance in place to back them.
