how to get deleted from CR paid or paying HOSPITAL- CA must delete!

[Anonymous]

thanks to dwarfess     If you have paid a hospital and a CA is reporting     IF you are ready to pay a hospital, search for the HIPAA letter.  It will tell you how to word it & letters to send to the hospital.

NO need to DV or contact the CA  at all!!!!!!

This might sound like a stupid question, but would that apply to a chiropractor as well?  We paid the chiropracor's billing service but somehow it got reported to a CA and now it is on hubby's CR.  It shows as paid but we didn't pay them, nor did we even know that it got sent to them!

Thanks dwarfess indeed!

That link will prove to be invaluable to those with med collections.

Definitely going in my favs folder.

Recently posters have complained that CRA's have been requesting "proof of identity" when they receive HIPAA and Pre-HIPAA letters and requiring you to resubmit your request w/proof of identity.  Therefore I have reworded all Whychat's letters to CRA's to begin as follows:

Dear CRA,

My name is xxxxx xxxxx and my SS # is xxx-xx-xxxx.  I have attached copies of my driver's license and social security card as proof of identity.

I have sent this letter Certified Mail # xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx to ensure your receipt.

Note:  Your drivers' license must have your current address.  If you don't have your SS card, then change wording to "recent utility bill".  The utility bill must be recent (within last 2 months) and be addressed to you at your current address.
