Medical Collections

Options

I have several medical collection accounts on my CR. Do I need to contact the OC first and get the itemized bill and pay them off or do I need to deal with the CA?

People keep saying deal with the OC, but if I do that, will the CA account stay on my report?

Thanks

Medical bills are handled differently...and for them...you need to use the Hipaa Process...Happydays posted the entire process...in a forum above...but here's the link just in case you missed it....

These are hospital collections. The process says it is for bills that are NOT hospital collections.

The HIPAA letter process works for both hospital and physcian collections provided you are in a position to PIF.
