Legal Question in Consumer Law in Michigan
My parents live in Michigan and received a bill in the mail in January, 2015 from a surgeon that performed surgery on my Father in March, 2004. The bill stated this charges are for services rendered that were not covered by the insurance carrier they were contracted with at that time. Is there a statute of limitations on medical billing? Are they liable for these charges >10 years post surgery? If not is there something they should do so the surgeon's office will stop sending anxiety causing bills?

It is an unenforceable debt after 6 years here in Michigan. Point this out to them and they should go away. If not, there could be a fair debt collections practices act claim.
