Can anyone tell me what the SOL for medical in Ohio is? (Is it 6 or 15 years?) This is for a family medicine office visit in 03/1999, not a hospital visit. DV'd the CA for a different account and they sent this OLD account with the one I DV'd. Both are *somewhat* validated. Talk about opening up a can of worms. Ugh! They haven't been reporting the 1999 account to the CRA's but they certainly might now.
Don't know about the SOL for medical in Ohio, but they can't report the debt to the CRA's regardless. Its older than 7 years.
Well, they can K M A then. lol (Actually, insurance should have paid this anyway...even though I know its my responsibility to make sure its paid by them, or by me. I tell ya, if people would send bills to let people know they have money due, that would sure help. @@)
The likelihood is that you signed something to get treated. The question is, did it have sufficient legal dignity to be called a "written contract" ... and that will be a matter of contractual interpretation, statutory construction (closely reading the statute to divine its meeting) and case law (looking at what other courts have done). Without the statute, the case law, and the contract in front of a good Ohio lawyer, it's impossible for anyone to tell you which SOL applies.
SOL for Ohio are pretty simple: Contracts: Written, 15 years; Oral, 6 years; Sales Contract, 4 years. Typically only medical malpractice claims will have a different SOL.
