Well, the good news is your unpaid medical bills won’t show up on your credit report right away.

During this time, you can dispute any errors or settle debt with medical providers before the collection accounts appear on your credit report.

- Medical debt attorneys can help to settle judgments, too. They can inform the hospital authority about their clients’ financial hardship and help settle judgments for much less than what they owe.
- If you belong to the low-income group, an attorney can help reduce medical bills in various ways and protect you from abuse.
- An attorney can help prepare a strategy for your case if a medical bill lawsuit is filed against you.
The Medical Debt Relief Act of 2021 clearly states that paid-off and settled medical debts that have been fully paid or settled will be removed.
Besides, if you believe the bills are placed on your credit reports by mistake, dispute them at the earliest.

Well, it depends on the statute of limitations in your state. In most states, the statute of limitations on medical debt range from about three to six years. If your debt has passed the statute of limitations, you will no longer owe money, and it can't be collected.
