[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 107816, member: 1233"] MB, Glad you were able to open up. The amount on your bills sounds very inflated. From what I see with our medical bills the doctor or whoever bills one amount. Then insurance (if youhave it) or medicaid says No, I will pay this amount. Then they do this a few more times. Then there is a bill that is more accurate. It is very hard to face all this when you are ill. Recovering still qualifies, I KNOW!! If you are paying even a small amount (here I think it is $5 per month) on the bill, then they cannotsue you. they just have to wait. The person who answers phones or is in the outer office generally will not know anything about what adjustments can be made. It takes someone a bit higher up to handle the bill if you simply cannot pay. It stinks to have to ask for help, but they should knock that ginormous bill WAAYY down. Sending hugs and gentle prayers for a happier Meowbunny!!! The hospital has a social worker or somesuch to help you. And if you go to the medicaid office thay WILL help you. But get that cash OUT of the bank before someone comes in and garnishes it. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
