Hospital Bill Complaint Program
The Hospital Bill Complaint Program is a state program, which reviews hospital decisions about whether you qualify for help paying your hospital bill. If you believe you were wrongly denied financial assistance, you may file a complaint with the Hospital Bill Complaint Program. For more information or to file a complaint, go to HospitalBillComplaintProgram.hcai.ca.gov.
Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
In the event your account has been assigned to a collection agency, state and federal law requires debt collectors to treat you fairly and prohibits debt collectors from making false statement or threats of violence, using obscene or profane language, and making improper communications with third parties, including your employer. Except under unusual circumstances, debt collectors may not contact you before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. In general, a debt collector may not give information about your debt to another person, other than your attorney or spouse. A debt collector may contact another person to confirm your location or to enforce a judgment. For more information about debt collection activities, you may contact the Federal Trade Commission by telephone at 1-877-FTC-HELP (382-4357) or on-line at www.ftc.gov. Nonprofit credit counseling services may be available in your area.
