    Default Statute of Limitations on Medical and Hospital Bills in North Carolina

    My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: NC

    I have a c-section scheduled for next week and received a letter in the mail today discussing what was owed and what I have to pay before I can be admitted for the c-section. There is one hospital in town. What they are stating I have to pay is from old accounts with them, going back as far as 2003. The more recent ones I was aware of and am working to pay them off but the old ones, I had no idea I had anything going that far back. My question is, what is the statute of limitations on medical/hospital bills in the state of NC? I don't have $12000 to pay within one week. Any thoughts?

    The statute of limitations governs whether a creditor may sue you for a debt. It does not mean that a service provider can't require that you settle an overdue bill before they will again provide services.

    Was your baby delivered at the hospital in question or did you have to go elsewhere? Congratulations on the addition to your family.
