The complaint will ask for a judgment against you for the money you owe, plus interest, attorneys’ fees, and ...

Otherwise, if the matter is still pre-suit, reneging the settlement may lead to an argument for a breach of that settlement, but if the matter is not in suit, then the insurance would have to file to enforce, which may be unlikely.

I'm considering sending a letter to the hospital's compliance and legal teams to notify them of my intention - and to ask if they would like to discuss a settlement prior to me actually initiating a suit.
