Being billed for medical services has nothing to do with insurance coverage, your parents or your own. Whether it is legal and appropriate to bill you would depend if you are an adult, if you signed the authorization form taking responsibility for the bill, and whether this was a workers compensation claim. If you are of age, you received treatment (not the insurance comapny) and are responsible for the bill. If you are not of age, your parents have legal responsibility to pay. Medical providers file insurance claims as a courtesy. If your insurance policy, or your parents', does not pay, you will have to. The debt would be turned over to a collection agency and would be reported on your credit report. It depends, if you had full coverage. Then NO, you are not responsible call you insurance and request a claim form follow the instructions on the form and submitt it, they should cover you medical bills.

Am I responsible for bills for my son if the father was the one who was billed?
The bills incurred, say for medical treatment, by a minor child are the responsibility of both parents. Often (from personal observation), in custodial situations, it is common for one parent to take a child for treatment, and have the other parent billed. It is assumed that the person billed is the responsible party. However this is not the case. Legally both parents are 100% responsible for payment of a child's bills. That is, the mother is 100% responsible, and the father is 100% responsible. In the event the debt goes for collections, the collection agency will attempt to collect from which ever party they can identify and locate, regardless of that person's ability to pay.
