That depends on the statute of limitations in your state. In some states yes, in some states no. On the other hand, the statute of limitations does not stop anyone from being allowed to try and collect on an account. It simply means that they don't have any legal basis to collect, that is, they can not take you to court to obtain a judgment agaonst you. In addition, be aware that this is a hospital you are talking about. If you need to use them in the future, and they feel that you owe them money, what kind of standard of care do you think you will receive?
