Common questions
Should I pay the bill while I dispute it?
Ask for an itemized bill and a hold on collections first. We'll tell you the deadline on your bill and help you write the request.
What if it's already in collections?
You can still dispute it. Collectors have to prove the debt, and medical debt has extra credit reporting protections.
