Utah Medical Billing & Collection Defense
Protect Your Family and Your Credit from Unfair Medical Debt
Medical debt is the leading cause of financial distress in Utah. Whether you are dealing with confusing invoices from Intermountain Health, University of Utah Health, or a third-party debt buyer like CMRE Financial Services, you have rights that debt collectors often hope you don’t know.
At Cannon Legal PLLC, we act as your shield. We audit your bills for “junk fees” and “upcoding” while ensuring collectors follow the strict rules set by Utah Code § 12-1-11 and federal law.
Our Utah Medical Debt Services
The Utah “45-Day Rule” & Audit
In Utah, a medical provider or collector generally cannot report a debt to a credit bureau or start a lawsuit until 45 days after they have provided you with a clear, itemized statement. We enforce this waiting period to ensure you have the time to audit your bills for:
-
Upcoding: Charging for a more expensive procedure than you received.
-
Unbundling: Separating charges that should be billed as a single, lower fee.
-
Double Billing: Identifying instances where both the hospital and the doctor billed for the same service.
“No Surprises Act” Advocacy
Are you being hit with a massive bill from an out-of-network provider you didn’t choose? We use the federal No Surprises Act to challenge illegal “balance billing” for emergency services or at in-network facilities.
FDCPA Harassment Defense
If a medical debt collector is calling you at work, threatening your credit, or using profane language, they are breaking the law. We stop the calls immediately and can often sue the collector for up to $1,000 in statutory damages, plus our attorney’s fees.
2026 Credit Report Protection
As of 2026, many medical debts under $500 are prohibited from appearing on your credit report. We help you dispute and remove inaccurate, outdated, or “paid-in-full” medical records from your Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion files.
