shalane85 is correct. The account is paid. So just follow the HIPAA process exactly as outlined.

But where can I find this HIPAA process that everyone keeps refering to? I googled HIPPA process, HIPAA dispute, etc, etc but all i got were links back to here and other forums.
I'm sure that it's somewhere right in front of my face, I just can't seem to find "the process."
Anyone have a quick link or anything?
Thanks
Hi gainingground, You replied to a thread that is over 2yrs old. These people may or may not, be here any longer.
Check your PM's, I sent you a link where you can find, the info you are looking for.
From what I've read, the HIPAA process works for some people and not for others.
IMO, I think when the HIPAA process started a few years ago, the mention of the word HIPAA scared the OC's and the CA's,into deleting items from CR's. And now since the HIPAA process has been around for awhile, I think the OC's and the CA's are not as quick to delete debt from CR's.
IME, I used PFD letters for my unpaid debts that were with CA's. And used GW letters on the paid CA's.That worked for me.
Do your homework, read all you can about medical debts, before doing anything. Figure out your options and go from there.
Hi ailanna, Check your PM's also..........................Good Luck to both of you! !

Hi LIGHTNIN,
Could you please PM me this info. as well?
Here's my situation: I received a letter from a CA back in 2007 that my son's pediatrician turned over to them for $100. Well I paid it off right after they contacted me (before I knew anything about this forum or being able to request PFD). Here I am 4 years later and it is one of 2 collections I have left on my CR (both are paid). A few months ago, I sent a few GW's to them and never heard back, so I called them to follow up with my letters. The representative I spoke with informed me that the only way they would remove it was if the OC requested for them to remove it. So I was able to get ahold of the retired dr. that sent this collection over and he said he'd be glad to contact them and let them know. So I called the CA back and informed them the dr. would be willing to do this and what he needed to do in order to get this done. They transferred me to the supervisor/owner who told me I was misinformed and they would not delete it under any circumstances, so it was worthless continuing to bother them with this. I figure the HIPAA process is my last resort on this? I know you can't talk much about this, but any help you have on this matter is greatly appreciated! TIA!
