Actually, there is no time limit for a physician to bill\nfor services rendered. \nAre you the executor of the estate? The physician's office should be directed to that person. Is the physician even aware that the person is deceased?  They should be told. Some physician offices will ask for copy of the  death certificate for verification. If the bill is coming from a collection agency, then the 5 year rule that was mentioned previously would apply.

Every state has a time limit to be responsible for bills. NC is 3 years, check on website of Attorney General.

Well It Depends If you live in aplace that has a public fire department and you called them because your house was on fire then probably not, but if you called for a medical reason and the ambulance showed up then more than likely you will have to pay a bill.  There is the Rare exception to this in that there is private fire departments that charge for their services and there are public fire departments that bill businesses and sometime they bill for water usage

No, they have to give you notice, especially if it is in your unit.

There would be a large waiting period followed by a pending of the claim for medical records.  Then the examiner would need to question the credentials of the doctor because vets are not usually covered.  Then there is some loophole about wings--he might get paid 10% after 14 weeks of waiting.

Your contract is complete.Bill your customer for it.Your next and subsequent contracts are totally divorced from the first. Invoice each completed contract.\nIf you wanna stay nice however, bill with the words "First contract complete.Subsequent contracts will be invoiced separately"\nBut, Hey! You should have made this clear when drawing up the contract(s). Your customer,department, should expect this\n\nSueter

It does nto matter when the payment was mailed .. it matters when it was recieved, and processed by the company. That is why they typically suggest mailing the payment 10 days prior to the due date. even if you apy your bill online, alot of times it will take 24-48 hours to clear.

If you have any Consumer Forum, in your place, which I am sure must be, you must bring an action. Before doing that, you must formally issue a notice, bringing to his attention that the first serviceman had not done any thing worth while, warranting a payment and that there was deficiency of service on his part. In the notice, explaining the above circumstances, that you are not liable to pay for it. Further, you may ask for payment from the company for deficiency of service and for the mental agony that his action asking for further sum on service had caused on you.

I am Canadian - I booked an apointment with my dentist last week and will see her next Tuesday.  By the way, Dentists are not covered under Canadian Health Care - never have been, unless it is as a result of an accident, a workplace injury, you are on social assistance, or you have a disability.\n\nMy son was born premature - 2 1/2 months - I did not have to wait for care - he is a healthy and educated 20 year old - and I did not receive a bill for one cent even though i do not have an insurance policy.  My doctor told me that in the US, he was a "million dollar" baby.\n\nMy brother required knee replacement surgery - every step of that process, from pre-op apointments with the best specialists (of his choice I might add - no one tells us who to see) through home care to perform rehab after surgery was completed within 3 months of the first visit and did not cost us one penny - with or without insurance.\n\nI had Leukemia (chronic myleogenous) and chose to go to whatever doctor and hospital I wanted, free of charge, in whatever city in Ontario had the shortest wait time - all free of charge, including the cost of gas or airfare if necessary to get to the appointments.\n\nI haven't had to wait 2 months, let alone a year, at all - although it does happen and it is not good when it does.  I also don't have to fork out one single penny to be seen by the best heart/lung/cancer specialist in the country, they are accessible to everyone regardless of income.\n\nI have a step-sister in LA - she relies on Medicare - she says it is appalling in the US if you don't have private insurance -it's kind of hard to describe what is wrong to the clinic doctor, who didn't speak english, after a 7 hour clinic wait!  Even if you have insurance , you probably have an HMO - a group of non-professionals with little or no medical training who are deciding who you can see, what they will treat, and which hospital you can go to.\n\nYou're trying to tell me that is better??

it's easy go to the court house with the services rendered bill and any subsequent billing. it is then their problem to show they have paid or go to court and prove why they shouldn't. keep all communications on record.

If you are in the United State, call your EMS Service (probably your Fire Department) and ask them about it.  I know when my daughter was taken to the hospital, we got a bill from them, but when I called and spoke to them, they explained they simply wanted to be reimbursed by the insurance companies, not by the taxpayers who were already paying them in taxes.  Any amount not paid by the insurance would be dismissed (and it was).  City agencies are trying to find any way to recoup operating costs.

It would be proper to give notice so they can fill that spot of yours that is going to be there 22 hours less than what it has been. Whether you are there or not the job still has to be done and they need to be able to replace you with someone who can be there during those times

My understanding is a bill for work done, goods delivered etc must be issued within 3 years of delivery/work done. if not issued within three years then you may have an option to refuse due to the time lapsed from date of receiving the service. PS don't take my word for this, it is my understanding, check with the citizens advice, or similar body, to confirm. In your situation, providing you can check and confirm payment taken or not, then if payment not taken you are liable to pay this account

It depends on a number of factors, including the type of case, which state and which court.  In California, for example, you must serve a serve a judgment debtor at least 10 days before a debtor's exam.  In other cases, you must give "reasonable" notice.  Federal court may be different.

You should expect for your services to be paid within 10 days of invoice. That's pretty standard. The other method would be to charge monthly on an annual basis, but I don't think that will work in your climate as well as it does in the south.

First read ugottafriend4life's answer again and follow it.  You may be able to add it to your BK.\n\nNext...VERY IMPORTANT!  Is this the first collection letter you got?  It should have a statement telling you that you have 30 days to dispute the debt.  \n\nSend them a dispute letter and demand validation.  That will buy you some time to look into the BK filing.  It also places a "stay" on the collector preventing him from placing anything on your credit report.  By law, he can not proceed with collection activities until he validates this debt.\n\nDuring this time you can negotiate with either the doctor's office (preferred) or the collector.  But demand IN WRITING that in exchange for payment they must not place anything on your credit report.  Does it make any sense to you to pay the bill and still have your credit messed up by these jerks?  If they sue you, the judgement stays on your credit report for 10 years, same as the BK report.  So they really can't do much harm to you.  But if they want your money then make them give you something in return!

Communicate with the medical office and ask for a reduction and a payment plan.\n\nGood Luck.
