Some options include asking for a % discount if you pay it all at once (about 20-30% is likely the most they'd give for someone with insurance) or setting up payment arrangements. You can usually make small payments. This is an everyday part of their work. Happens ALL the time. Call and ask for the patient accounting office/business office and then ask for a supervisor. Explain your situation and it's likely that you'll get some good help. Most hospital employees believe in the mission and just want to help.Courtney Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11834203217847733325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006108588043705506.post-44874399896875743182010-10-07T14:11:03.934-04:002010-10-07T14:11:03.934-04:00Less than a week after our son passed, the mailbox...Less than a week after our son passed, the mailbox greeted me with the ambulance bill. My favorite past time of getting the mail each day turned into torture. It seemed so unfair that they would bother me with something that seemed so trivial at a time when I felt like my world was shattering into a million pieces. Nearly 3 years after his passing we still occasionally get mail for him (either a bill we never saw before or mail addressed to him). It's always like an unexpected punch in the gut.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17644442451132026851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006108588043705506.post-85693209269123391632010-10-07T13:21:14.377-04:002010-10-07T13:21:14.377-04:00I had the same feeling this summer after my accide...I had the same feeling this summer after my accident. One thing I did was to go online and sign up to get catalogs from stores that I liked. It's now a nice surprise to get something in the the mail once a week, it doesn't cost a thing, and you can take it outside and sit and peruse instead of looking at stuff on your computer or watching tv.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07207766438002910577noreply@blogger.com
