In New York, the state can garnish wages or bank accounts for unpaid debts, including medical bills, but it typically requires a court judgment. However, tax refunds are generally protected from being garnished for medical bills unless the creditor has obtained a judgment. If the medical debt is associated with a collection agency, they may be able to take further legal action to collect the debt. Always consult a legal expert for specific situations.
