Re: Re: Help..Used Hippa but have judgement The payments weren't made on the judgment but were made on the bills instead.
Re: Re: Help..Used Hippa but have judgement the reason i said he/she paid the judgment is because they paid the OC who is also listed as the plaintiff on the judgment. when he/she began making the payments (i believe they talk about it in the original post) they didn't know the OC was the plaintiff and not a CA. so do you think the payments would be considered as being made towards the judgment?
Re: Re: Help..Used Hippa but have judgement Jenz, The payments were made directly to the hospital's billing department with no mention of the judgement. BTW, I may be one of the few people who was really not notified and didn't even know what the judgement was because in the credit report it does not reference the hospital. Upon receiving a copy of the judgement from the court (this year), I saw that it was for unpaid medical bills. I have never acknowledged the judgement with hospital and the hospital applied the payments to the original medical bills w/out interest or court fees.
Re: Re: Help..Used Hippa but have judgement Lbrown, 1. the $400 is more than the bills and doesn't inclued accrued interest 2. I paid on the bills not the judgement (never even acknowledged the existence of it) 3. Ohio revised code mentioned something about 5 years and I am still researching it
Re: Re: Re: Help..Used Hippa but have judgement Is the Hospital still trying to collect the 400 bucks? What do they show for the balance on the bills after you made the payments?Is it the 400 or 0?

Re: Re: Re: Help..Used Hippa but have judgement Here is the problem, I have not mentioned the judgement at all in my dealings with the hospital. I have one additional bill that was never turned over to an outside collection agency BUT was included in the judgement. That is the final bill to pay and the difference between that bill and the judgement is $400 + interest. The recommendation per WhyChat is to pay the remaining bill and petition to have the outstanding judgement vacated. The judgement still shows the original balance but the ca accounts have all been removed.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Help..Used Hippa but have judgement So then the final bill is 800 and the judgment is 1200 correct? Does the hospital say you owe them the final bill or that plus the 400 & Interest?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Help..Used Hippa but have judgement how does come into play on this? i guess that is the part i am missing. jenz =============== If either the hospital or the CA gives out such medical treatment info. it becomes a hipaa violation """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

ok, maybe whychat can explain it to me in laymans terms. according to mvalrie the judgment hasnt been paid in full ok, maybe whychat can explain it to me in laymans terms. 1*according to mvalrie the judgment hasnt been paid in full - 2*they may have paid the debt behind it but the hospital is legally entitled to interest and court costs. 3*mvalrie states they still have a balance of $400.00 to pay. 4*which means you either have to pay the debt so the CA/OC will petition for vacation with the courts or you can petition the court directly. jenz ===================== 1*Right but the bills have been. 2*Legit yes. Bogus no;mvalrie states they are bogus. Also see why chats statement below about this matter. 3*but mvalrie didn't say on what the bills or the judgment. 4*Which according to mvalrie he did.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Help..Used Hippa but have judgement i guess my question was/is unless they state in the judgment that my new aunt tilly used to be uncle henry i don't see what is illegal - the fact that the OC is a doctor/hospital?
: Help..Used Hippa but have judgement i guess my question was/is unless they state in the judgment that my new aunt tilly used to be uncle henry i don't see what is illegal - the fact that the OC is a doctor/hospital? jenz =========== What is not legal is for the hospital to tell the CA or collector that aunt tilly used to be uncle henry. """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
: Help..Used Hippa but have judgement how do you prove they did? how would a person know that anything other than $, date, name was sent to collection agency?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Help..Used Hippa but have judgement Lbrown, the hospital has not asked for the interests or additional fees because we have not discussed settlement options. But, if they accepted my previous payments as full compensation for those bills, it is highly unlikely that they can now come back and ask for fees on that bill. My biggest concern was how to approach the judgment as it is viewed separately from the collection accounts.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Help..Used Hippa but have judgement mvalrie, I don't know how they can be viewed seperately -- the judgment is based on those accounts. Sassy
Re: : Help..Used Hippa but have judgement One way is when you validte with a CA and they send this to you to validate which has happened to some or someone right here on this board.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Help..Used Hippa but have judgement Right and if the hospital accepts the amount tendered as payment in full on the bills so too that satisfies the judegment .
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Help..Used Hippa but have judgement Nodding LB five-niner, That's the big IF in this story, doesn't read to me like the hospital did accept it as payment in full for satisfaction of the judgment. The judgment wasn't paid in full and a settlement wasn't negotiated. Sassy
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Help..Used Hippa but have judgement You are talking "apples and oranges" Sassy. Please DO NOT confuse the legal issue of "satisfaction of a judgment" or "agreed on settlement offer" with the basic premise of the privacy issue of HIPAA. There s NO WAY that any added legal fees or interest can be considered to be part of a valid "medical collection", (unless we are talking about a finance contract for plastic surgery or orthodentures)
