Hah! All of those foolish lawyers and politicians, their staff, all the lobbyists who wrote HIPAA (not HIPPA)…and not one thought “hey, you know, we should probably make sure that when people don’t pay their bills, there’s some recourse for the provider”. What a bunch of maroons.
Just don’t pay it. Nothing they can do about it.
Sending medical info to collections is a violation of HIPPA, just ask for the itemized list.
0 chance they’d give you any flak for anything under, say, a 250k heart surgery.
