I have been making regular monthly payments. Can the doctor still send me to collections?
Reply from DebtCollectionAnswers.com:
It shouldn't happen, but we must warn you that it sometimes does! Do you have anything in writing from the doctor? If not, we recommend you at least send the physician's billing office a letter by certified mail outlining the payment agreement as you understand it. Keep a copy for your records. Then make sure you make each and every payment on time each month. Hopefully it will go smoothly and you can put this doctor bill behind you!
