(Credit Repair) How to Remove Medical Collections From a Credit Report

Medical collections can be a huge problem for anyone trying to repair credit. We've all received unexpected bills from a hospital or a clinic and wondered why didn't our insurance cover it? And sometimes these bills are huge and most folks have a hard time being able to pay them. Unfortunately, this is not a debt that just goes away if you don't pay it. See, what happens is the medical providers sell the debts to collection agencies for pennies on the dollar and then the collector adds interest and then harasses you for the full payment and often double or even triple reports the same account to the credit bureaus. It's a terrible system and it hurts a whole lot of people. But as a credit hero, there are secret ways to fight back and win. So today I I'm going to share with you exactly how. So stick around.

So the big question is, how can we take our passion for helping people with their credit and turn it into a successful business without taking loans? Without spending a fortune by bootstrapping it from nothing so we can help the most people and still become highly profitable? That is the question and this podcast will give you the answer. My My name is Daniel Rosen and welcome to Credit Repair Business Secrets.

Okay, before I dive into the secrets of removing medical collections, if you want to know more about how you can go from zero to credit hero with your very own profitable credit repair business, click the link in the video description below or visit creditherochallenge.com okay, let's get into this. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, if a debt to a medical facility goes unpaid, they have the right to take measures to collect the debt, including selling your personal information to a debt collector. But the information that can be provided to the debt collector is is very limited. They can only share your name, address, social date of birth, payment history, and the location and name of the facility that you were treated in. And that's it. They absolutely cannot disclose the nature of your treatment or details of procedures to the collector. This includes paperwork or bills that disclose medications you've taken, ailments or diseases that you may have been diagnosed with or treated for. So in short, if a collection agency provides you with any of these details that I've just listed, they are in direct violation of HIPAA regulations and they face very severe fines. And that, my friend, is the secret to to removing medical debts from your clients reports. See, the main purpose of HIPAA is to prevent anyone from abusing our personal health information and HIPAA regulations affect collection agencies. If they are dealing with medical debt, they must sign a HIPAA business associate agreement to indicate that they will comply with HIPAA regulations that involve protected health information. In order to collect a medical debt, collection agencies do not need any of that detailed information about your health and your medical history. Collection agencies are also responsible for making sure that any protected health information that they do receive is secured from unauthorized access. So how do you use HIPAA to delete medical collections? It's easy. Of course, you should always grab the low hanging fruit by disputing the collection with the credit bureaus first. And sometimes that will result in an easy deletion. Now if you've tried that already, the next step is to demand validation. And you can use the validation letters that that are in your credit repair cloud library and then wait for the response. Now, if the debt collection agency responds with too much of your client's personal information or any details of any medical procedures that were performed, it's time to put them on notice. And for that you use the validation of medical debt HIPAA request letter that's also included in your credit repair cloud. This is an interesting letter and it can work very well to scare the bejesus out of the debt collectors. You are essentially threatening a lawsuit for HIPAA violations and you can usually convince any collection agency to delete the account if they have violated hipaa. So this is a great tactic that often results in a deletion. At the very least, even even if they don't delete the collection from your client's credit report, you will likely be able to use this as a strong negotiating point and go after a pay per deletion. So that's it. With the right letters and tactics, you can take the power away from the collection agencies and put it back in the hands of the people that they are trying to hurt.
