How can I get help paying my medical bills?

Question

I am 27 years old and have had a rough 08' I am currently looking for a job, moving back in with my parents and doing everything I can do to save money. I have been a commercial real estate agent for 2 years and have not received a paycheck. Two days ago I had an emergency appendectomy and now am stuck with $23,000 in medical bills. I cannot pay this back, nor can my family afford to help with this payment. Does anyone have a suggestion of what I can or should do to reduce this bill? Thank you so much for your help as I am in dire need!

Answer 1

Call them asap and set up payments.  See how low your payments can be or even if they can put off the first payment for a while. Get to feeling better and good luck!!

Answer 2

Talk to someone in billing, in person, at the hospital.  You sound like you qualify for Medicaid.  Any remaining amount can be done in payments as low as 100 a month.

Answer 3
