YSK: Medical Debt cannot be sent to collections - Lemmy.world

Collections agencies need to provide you with an itemized list of what you owe and to who. If a hospital gives out this information, especially if they didn’t even try to collect it themselves, they have violated HIPPA. Will a collections agency give you a document proving they vioated HIPPA? No. Do you owe debts on something w/o receipts? No.
