You were served a summons for past medical debt what do you do?

You can contact an attorney. There are some attorneys/law practices that work pro bono cases, and you can search for them online. You can also contact a medical billing advocate; a medical billing advocate is someone who will work with you and is on your side, and who will not profit unless they get money for you.

The first step would be to get a hold of all the copies of your statements/bills/itemized bills, as well as a copy of your medical records for the time period in question. Have either your attorney or your medical billing advocate (you can have your attorney hire a medical billing advocate as well) do a complete compliance audit and medical record audit to make sure you really owe as much as they say that you do. Have them do a complete cost analysis as well, and possibly negotiate with the providers/facilities for a reduction of total debt. With the remainder, you can probably go on a payment plan.

Best of luck to you!
