Collections agencies need to provide you with an itemized list of what you owe and to who.

If a hospital gives out this information, especially if they didn’t even try to collect it themselves, they have violated HIPPA.

Will a collections agency give you a document proving they vioated HIPPA? No. Do you owe debts on something w/o receipts? No.

    People “win” and get medical debt dismissed all the fucking time. HIPPA doesn’t fuck around.
