I received a collections agency notice of a medical bill due for $242. This was the first notice I ever received of having owed any money and the bill was from 6 years ago! Is there a statute of limitations on having to pay this bill and is there a timeframe for acceptable timely billing practices on the part of the provider? I have both private insurance and medicare which usually picks up what the private insurance does not. I live in Louisiana. Thanks!
