Delaware SB347 amends the Medical Debt Protection Act to clarify creditor liability and disclosure requirements for medical debt collection.
Delaware SB347 amends Title 6 of the Delaware Code to modify the Medical Debt Protection Act. It specifies that large health-care facilities and medical creditors remain liable for actions taken by medical debt buyers or collectors, including any violations of collection rules. The bill also mandates that parties collecting medical debt must disclose their status in court pleadings, with failure to do so being a violation of the act. These changes aim to protect patients from aggressive debt collection practices.
