The statute of limitations has run on the debt.

This is a frivolous claim and the hospital may be looking at attorneys and costs if it persists.See www.ConsumerLawyerHelp.com.

The debt itself is still valid, but it is too late for the hospital to file any lawsuit to collect it. So, you owe the money, and they may be able to place it on your credit report, but they cannot do anything in court to collect it. All they can do is ask you to pay the debt voluntarily.
