Sugar Land Medical Collections Attorney
Medical debt is incurred by getting medical treatment for which you are unable to pay. The cost of medical care adds up very quickly and before you know it, you owe $20,000-$30,000. Medical debt is usually handled like all other debts, even though you need medical care and treatment.
Fortunately, medical bills do not incur interest or late fees, in general. Moreover, if you can reach an agreement to make even a low monthly payment, the unpaid balance cannot be legally reported to credit agencies, because to do so would be a debt collections violation.
When you are struggling to make monthly payments and have become the victim of collection harassment, our Texas collections defense attorney may be able to negotiate a reduction of your debt by demonstrating the medical care provided was not reasonable and necessary. Due to medical privacy under HIPAA, the collections agency seeking collection of your medical debt may be unable to do so, because they were not notified what the charges actually were.
