If my 21 year old son uses my health insurance, who is liable to pay the balance?

He signed the forms. He applied for reduced cost through the hospial as he is starting grad school, has $25,000 in college loans and generates about $10,000 annually with a summer job. We claimed him last year but starting this year he will be claiming himself. The trip to the ER occurred 5 months ago. Hospital is now asking to see our most recent tax returns since we claimed him last year because his tax forms showed that he didn’t claim himself.
