If the services were rendered to you, then you have to pay it yourself if workers comp doesn't. If you have a dispute with worker's comp about who has to pay it, you can either fight it out with the worker's comp people and take the chance that the creditor won't get a judgment lien against you or you can pay it now and fight with worker's comp about getting reimbursed.
If you're asking about statutes of limitations . . . whether you have to pay it because about 6 years have passed, the answer is yes. The law doesn't cancel a debt after a certain period, only prevents the creditor from taking you to court after a certain period (the statute of limitations). The only way to get rid of a debt is to pay it or go through Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Transferring the debt to a collection agency doesn't change the fact you owe the money, by buying the account the collection agencies has become your new creditor.
I hope I have answered your question.
