I find it highly improbable that a minor child was treated at a medical facility in NC without the knowledge and authorization of the legal guardian unless it was in a life or death situation. Then the parents would be contacted and brought to the facility.
Not only do I find it highly improbable but I can't even comprehend in my mind that Casey would even expect somebody to believe her that she had to look up a hospital online or on their phone to find out which one that "Nan" claimed Erica went to.
If she was on the phone with "Nan" that night then she should have gotten all the information they needed and more importantly the status of whatever was wrong with Erica that required her to even have to go to the ER.
And oh my, what a perfect time to ask "Nan" for an address to mail a copy of Erica's Medicaid card, since that's the only insurance the poor girl had!!
In my opinion, these people didn't give a rats azz about Erica, and they still don't.

Reference from the Salisbury Post interview 08/09/2013
Reporter: Some person who didn't want to say that person's name, thought perhaps that may be unethical to continue to receive-
Casey Parsons: You have to understand about that. Along with that comes Medicaid, and I knew that was Erica's only way of going to the doctor if she became sick and needed to go to the doctor. So, if you cancel that too, you cancel her insurance that she has, and that was her only health insurance at all. And, I actually have the letter over there that tells about receiving that. And, there's two criterias for it- legal responsibility or financial responsibility.
Reporter: So, how did you use the money, then?
Casey Parsons: It- just put it in the bank, and just like we received it, and it's in- it's sitting in the bank. 'Cause-
Reporter: No one went to Irene, Nan?
Casey Parsons:
No, we don't even know an address. I still have her Medicaid card sitting here.
Reporter: How would she get-
Casey Parsons: If she needed that.
Reporter: - to the doctor?
Casey Parsons: She would have to call and do it. Now see,
they did mention about treatment one time for her. And Nan,
when we called her back,
we went to see-
we called to see how that went when she was at the ER,
supposed to be, that night- um, she said she got her treated.
Reporter: This is up in Asheville?
Casey Parsons: Yes. And they- the detective said they called a hospital. The hospital me and my husband searched for and found was Mission's Hill, wasn't it? Hospital,
that we assume that's where she went to. Um, but they won't give you any information over the phone. And, the detective said they was checking all that and checking it out.
