On statute of limations on old debt. I have hospital bill from 2003. went tocollection 4-2004. is this debt still collectable?

The statute of limitation will depend on the type of debt and hospital debts and generally done under a contract for services, the forms you sign in the admission deparment will generally include the clause " I am responsable for payment" or words to that effect. This is a contract and contracts are enforceable for 10 years.

I have pasted a link to the statute below and the first five or six chapters is where you will want look,
