Debt collection: Medical debt

Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Complaint: I am a XXXX XXXX whose policy coveres 100 % of all EMERGENCY room services ( the accounts being disputed are emergency room services ) with {$0.00} Co-payment and no member obligation. I 'm not liable for these collection accounts. This medical debt was n't correctly billed to medicade at the time of service which is no fault of mine. I have on countless occasions provide all the information required to bill Medicade properly, to both the Hospital and Collection agency. They keep reporting the same Negitive information on my credit report after taking the billing payment information. Being that I am a XXXX XXXX with {$0.00} copayment I 'm not eligible for collection accounts from an out-of-state Hospital or emergency room because the hospital must settle the debt directly with Medicaid and the accounts to show payment in full according to the following federal regulations : When you provide services to a Medicaid member from another state, you must accept that states Medicaid allowance ( less any member responsibility such as copayments ) as payment in full. Please note that billing out-of-state Medicaid members for any amounts in excess of the Medicaid-allowed amount for Medicaid-covered services is specifically prohibited by federal regulations ( 42 CFR 447.15 ). -XXXX
