CBS News recently aired a story regarding the jailing of people over unpaid medical debt. The City of Coffeyville has received several inquiries about the story; however, the City has no association with the collection of medical debts, nor does the City utilize the services of the medical debt collection attorney referenced in the story for medical debt purposes. The City appreciates the discussion that is occurring to bring to light this situation and encourages all concerned persons to become better informed about medical debt collection practices.
