I pay $15k a year health insurance for my family, it only kicks in after I spend $5k, and a doctor can say I require one thing and the insurance can reject it

    Do you have any sources?

    I tried to double check and all i found is that:

    The three nationwide credit reporting agencies will generally not report medical debt on your credit report until the debt has been unpaid for at least 180 days (about six months).

    I am preparing a pamphlet for getting and navigating US healthcare and that would be an amazing addition.

      Apparently, 15 states prohibit it from hitting your credit. I was under the impression that it was nationwide.

        By chance do you have a source to this?

          It was a law from Biden that went into effect in January but trump had vacated in July, all this year. There’s a lot of confusion on this because of the flip flop.

          This was the story I saw. I know in my state, it can’t ding your credit.
