2 years ago I needed the morning after pill, it was a Sunday so all clinics were closed. I went to the emergency room, it was a 5 minute visit. For fear of parents, I told them I didn't have insurance, even though I did. They gave me papers to sign, the pill, and that was that. I was so freaked out about getting pregnant that I was just happy they gave it to me. Don't judge me, I was 18 and niave. They didn't try to offer any reduced/no cost care programs or payment plans, didn't really explain anything really. I had no idea such things were available or I would have asked. NOR did they inform me that the morning after pill was still effective up to 72 hours after unprpotected sex. Yes, I know it is slightly reduced in effectiveness, but I feel they should have told me if they knew I could wait a day and avoid a $411 bill. It's already on my credit report. Is it too late to give them my insurance or to negotiate with the hospital? Do I have any options? I feel a bit wronged by them.
