Yes, unpaid balances may appear on credit reports after 180 days. Federal policy changes slated for 2025 will remove most medical debts from credit files; MSB aligns Oregon medical debt collection tactics with evolving rules to protect patients.
How does medical debt collection differ from other debt types?
HIPAA, charity-care mandates, insurer EOB denials, and Oregon’s licensing framework make Oregon medical debt collection more nuanced than retail or telecom receivables. Specialized healthcare training is essential.
