If you believe the former employer is violating its obligations to pay this bill, then your recourse is to sue the employer to force them to honor their obligations. For smaller amounts (several hundred dollars), you're probably best off suing in small claims court while acting as your own attorney; for larger amounts (several thousand dollars), you should hire a lawyer to represnt you. Suing is the only way to force them to pay what they should.
