There are two parts to this question, thus two answers:
A collection agency may pursue a debtor to where ever he goes. Many collection agencies have the ability to contract local agencies to recover the debt in what ever country the debtor resides. From personal experience, I have aided in the recovery of debts in the UK, Germany, Iceland, Norway, Spain, Canada, and Mexico.
A dispute is mentioned. The dispute however does not absolve responsibility for a debt. Only the courts can do that. If, say, the patient had sued the healthcare provider for malpractice, and asked for release from payment obligation as part of the settlement, then the debtor would not be responsible. However, you cannot be absolved of responsibility simply because you are not happy with the treatment you received.

Don't let a collection agency push you around. As a consumer you have many rights. The best places for anyone to exercise their rights are in small claims courts. For less than $100 you can bring a collection agency to their knees.
You have a valid debt that was purchased by another collection agency however the original date that the debt was opened was 2003 The new collection agency has it listed as 2005 is this legal?
The date that is of the most importance is the DLA, which is used if it pertains to the state SOL. The opening account date can be disputed and possibly amended, but it will not affect the validity of the debt or prohibit the collection process.
How do I remove a collection item on my credit report that was disputed but not removed?
Only the collection agency or the credit bureaus can remove a collection off a credit report. You can negotiate the removal of the collection off the credit report upon final payment of the debt owed. Some collection agencies have policies against this, some don't. You can also redispute it to the credit bureaus as many times as they will let you. It has a higher chance of being removed if it is paid off and an older account.
