    I already told you. This is misinformation, they request it from the hospital and it takes a few days to a week.

      Be very specific, what exactly is your claim here?

      That they send it to collections w/o any true info about what’s in the debt?

      Because you just explained exactly why you don’t have to pay that shit.

        They already have the barebones amount of information that the hospital provided due to the privacy application you signed. If you request an itemized list to the agency, the hospital is able to provide it. You’re trying to find a gotcha and doubling down on your misinformation which ultimately is your potential future problem and not mine. I’m just trying to protect others from your ignorance.

            Yes. I have disputed medical debt and known others who have done it successfully. Literally requesting an itemized list is often followed up with an itemized list. Sometimes they dont care enough to request it especially since sometimes there can be a fee. But either way it’s insanely weak advice and perpetuates misinformation. There are much better avenues to dispute the debt.

              Just because you tried some normie method and I tried a much easier one doesn’t make you somehow better than me.

              Violation of my HIPPA rights is (and will ALWAYS be) an automatic dismissal (>150k in our case ;) ).

              Genuinely, stfu if you don’t know how to play this lil’ capitalism game to the best of your ability.

              You can bootlick for as long as you feel comfortable doing so.
