I have been running a medical practice for nearly nine years. When ANY medical collection is listed on a CR, the OC's name MUST be masked...it's the law. Also, any doctor or hospital who furnishes a "business associate", such as a CA, with diagnosis or procedure codes, they are in violation. The OCs must adhere to the "minimum necessary" when furnishing information to their "business associates."

When a medical bill is sent to a legitimate collection agency, they only know the name of the doctor or facility that is sending the balance, and how much you owe. So collection agencies do not have any information that is protected under HIPPA law. Additionally, HIPPA protects you as a patient, so if you are calling about your own bill, there is no violation of HIPPA because it's your medical information.
