A collection agency, or its compliance manager, agents or employees, shall not, for any medical debt: 1. Take any confession of judgment or any power of attorney running to the collection agency or to any third person to confess judgment or to appear for the debtor in a judicial proceeding. 2. Commence a civil action to collect the medical debt if the amount of the medical debt, excluding interest, late fees, collection costs, attorneys fees and any other fees or costs, is less than the maximum jurisdictional amount set forth in subsection 1 of NRS 73.010 . Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to prohibit the commencement of a small claims action in justice court to collect the medical debt. 3. Charge or collect a fee of more than 5 percent of the amount of the medical debt, excluding interest, late fees, collection costs, attorneys fees and any other fees or costs, as a collection fee or as an attorneys fee for the collection of the medical debt.
