How To Negotiate A Hospital Bill
You Do Not Have to Put Up With Aggressive Collection Efforts
« Previous3/3
Some hospitals or their collection agents have become very aggressive in collecting outstanding bills, making harassing telephone calls at late hours, threatening to sue and other techniques.
You can legally require creditors to stop harassing you. (For more information, see the document in "To Learn More").
Do not be afraid to complain directly to the hospital about these techniques, especially if you have tried or are trying to negotiate the bill or if the actions go beyond those permitted in collection of a debt.
If you do not get any satisfaction complain to your state association which oversees hospitals or to the Attorney General's office of your state. You can find your AG's phone number at the National Association of Attorneys General: www.naag.org
