Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Pennsylvania
I do collections in a medical office and a patient recently filed chapter 7 bankruptcy, so we went ahead and wrote off all previous balances. My question is do we legally have to continue to see this patient, and what happens when she cant pay the copays that she has in the future?

You do not have to legally see the patient but you are no longer to try to collect on debts incurred prior to the Bankruptcy filing date.
