More details to this question:
I received a letter from a doctor that I visited over 5 years ago. I got a bill from them this week, stating that I owed them money. On my bill it stated that I visited them just a couple of weeks ago. I gave them a call and they stated that the bill was due to a visit done over five years ago. My question is can they bill me for a visit done over 5 years ago?

Bill you? yes. File suit or take action to collect it?...not if the statute of limitations has run, which would be either 4 or 5 years.
