Stop spreading misinformation. It’s not against HIPPA for medical providers to disclose the barebones amount of to collections if they signed the notice of privavy practices
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.

I’m not a lawyer. The source I provided is generally the best standard you’ll find for this. Collection agencies know their limits because of the law and know not to challenge do not contact clauses. I’m not going to go research the exact cases though.
It’s not generally even needed to get a lawyer at this point. You need a laywer if they breach your dispute claim or reach out to you after you give them a direct “do not contact me.” These have been held up in court but also your dispute claim can fall. It’s just super expensive for them to actually pursue it so they rarely do. I’m just providing the easiest way to avoid paying debt, not a guareneed way like the other person is giving false promises about.
If you’re interested in law there have been cases about contractual changes where you cross out hospital agreements and change them you can look into. Generally changing your contract is honored if its a minor change and hospital staff agrees but if its a big change it wont be held up.

Who says they can’t? Have you actually read all of the documentation you sign when you have a medical procedure?

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

has your legal theory been tested in court?
A lot of it yes, it’s a general guideline where-as the other information being provided is clear misinformation.
My information is cited from a previous collections agency worker as well as many people to back it’s legitamacy up.
Reddit archive link doesn’t function right now so I have to send the direct link, sorry: https://www.reddit.com/r/UnethicalLifeProTips/comments/hr6ccy/ulpt_how_to_dispute_medical_debt_the_right/
that read is though it’s anecdotal. I was hoping that you could cite a case.
