In Ohio, most medical debt can be collected for up to 6 years. After this period, the debt becomes time-barred, meaning collectors cannot sue to force payment, though they may still request it voluntarily.
Yes. You can request written validation of the debt, and the collector must provide proof of the amount, the provider, and why the charges were billed before continuing collection efforts.
Ohio medical debt collection must comply with HIPAA, state licensing, CSPA, surprise-billing arbitration holds, HCAP charity-care, and statute-of-limitations rules, making it more complex than standard consumer debt.
Review it immediately. Request itemized billing, verify your insurance claims, and ask for debt validation if you’re unsure it’s accurate. Ignoring notices can lead to legal escalation.

MSB encrypts all PHI at rest and in transit, applies role-based access, and mirrors Ohio’s 45-day breach-notice window in every Business Associate Agreement. Immutable logs live in our HIPAA + FDCPA dashboard.
Ohio’s Collection Agency Act (ORC § 1321.35 et seq.) requires agencies to hold a state license and a $10,000 bond. The Consumer Sales Practices Act (ORC § 1345) bans “unfair, deceptive, or unconscionable” conduct and applies to healthcare receivables. MSB’s collectors renew their Ohio licenses annually, maintain the required bond, and complete yearly CSPA compliance refreshers, so every Ohio medical debt collection call is courteous and lawful.
