    Default Can You Get a Bill a Year After Services Saying "Balance Past Due"

    Can a doctor's office send you a bill, the first bill you receive, asking for payment and stating "balance past due"? There is nothing in the bill about what the bill is for, just a date of service and amount. The service was almost a year ago. How can a balance be past due if you haven't been billed before?

    The doctor's office can bill you for services, even if it is slow to send bills. The note that the balance is past due is irrelevant to whether or not the debt is owed. It may be automatically generated by the age of the debt.

    If you are not sure what the bill is for, you can ask the doctor's office to clarify.
