I believe in Ohio a medical creditor can attempt to collect a bill for 7 years. However, they can hold onto the account as long as they decide.
In Ohio they have set medical debts documented in writing at 15 years. That gives them a fairly long period of time in which to collect. And it will be measured from the last acknowledgment of the debt, payment or letter from the person who owes.
if you do not owe it, they shouldn't be able to collect it anywhere. even if its past the deadline for you to contest the bill you should still try
In Ohio they have set it at 15 years! That is the longest in the US. Medical debts are normally documented in writing. That gives them a fairly long period of time in which to collect. And it will be measured from the last acknowledgment of the debt, payment or letter from the person who owes.
Well since with medical service you fill out paperwork I would say that a written contract for payment exists, which under O.R.C. §2305.06 would provide the medical office with a 15 year statue of limitation to collect.

In Ohio, a debtor's exam is a legal procedure where a creditor can obtain information about a debtor's assets to collect a debt. Debtors are required to appear in court or before a magistrate to provide information about their finances, including bank accounts, income, and assets. Failure to comply with a debtor's exam can result in penalties or contempt of court.
What is the statute of limitations for medical bills in Ohio?" I had a $242 medical bill removed from my credit years ago with the explanation of benefits from the medical insurance. The debit is over 8 years old now and I am no longer with that medical insurance. They state they are not able to pull up the EOB now due to the age. I didn't save the one I had because it was removed from my credit. A new collection agency is now calling and trying to collect on the debit telling me they have 15 years to collect. I looked up Ohio statue of limitations, which are mostly 6 years but there is one section that says 15 years with a signed contract. Are medical bills considered a signed contract?
