How long do paid-off medical bills stay on your credit report?

Typically, paid-off medical bills will remain on your credit report for seven years from the date of the first delinquency. This means that even if you have paid the bill in full, it may still appear on your credit report for up to seven years. However, a paid-off medical bill is less likely to negatively affect your credit score than an unpaid medical bill, as it indicates to potential creditors that you have resolved your financial obligations.
