Frequently Asked Questions About USCB America
Who is USCB America?
USCB America is a collection agency specializing in medical debt collection for hospitals and healthcare providers.
Should I pay USCB without verifying the bill?
No. Medical bills are frequently incorrect. Request an itemized statement and have your insurance company verify whether claims were properly processed before paying anything.
What are the new medical debt protections?
Paid medical debts must be removed from credit reports. New medical debts cannot be reported for at least one year. Medical debts under $500 cannot be reported at all.
What if I qualified for financial assistance?
Many hospitals are required to offer financial assistance. If you were not told about these programs, the hospital may have violated its obligations. This can be a defense against the collection.
