Yes.
Can a paid medical collection account be removed from your credit report?
It stays 7 years from the date of the late payment that caused it to be reported to the collection agency, even if you pay it off. In accordance with HIPAA, your medical information may be reported for purposes of collecting on an UNPAID medical bill. Once the medical bill is paid, there is no longer a permissible purpose for divulging your medical information. Therefore, a paid medical bill should automatically be removed form your credit file in accordance with HIPAA.
Are the medical bills on credit report removed after clearing the bill?
Removing or say that information would be removed for repayment of a debt is not legal. If your bad medical debt was reported to your credit, then your payment and the status of the debt would be updated by the collections agency typically within 30-60 days. It will still appear on your credit but as a "paid" or "settled in full" status and zero balance due.

Can I get a medical collection removed from my credit report if I never got a bill because they did not put my apartment number on my bill and the bill has been paid after being sent to collection?
Yes you can have it removed from your credit report. I had a similar issue with a medical bill. It was never delivered to me by the hospital or collection agency. I called the agency and explained this. They said I could pay it off and they would have it deleted from my record. They also said they will contact the credit bureaus to clear it off their records too. This happened earlier this month. I went to Equifax and disputed the collection on there end afterwards to make sure it gets taken care of. I'm just waiting to get confirmation now.

What is the statute of limitations for medical bills in Ohio I have been called on a bill from 1999 am I legally responsible for it. It has gone to a collection group.?
What is the statute of limitations for medical bills in Ohio?" I had a $242 medical bill removed from my credit years ago with the explanation of benefits from the medical insurance. The debit is over 8 years old now and I am no longer with that medical insurance. They state they are not able to pull up the EOB now due to the age. I didn't save the one I had because it was removed from my credit. A new collection agency is now calling and trying to collect on the debit telling me they have 15 years to collect. I looked up Ohio statue of limitations, which are mostly 6 years but there is one section that says 15 years with a signed contract. Are medical bills considered a signed contract?
