Last week I had to go to the hospital for an emergency appendectomy. I'm 19, uninsured, and my husband and I are self employed.
When I contacted the billing department, she told me the least I could pay is $1000 a month for 36 months until I have the bill paid off. There is no way that we can pay that!
The hospital fees are ridiculous-- for example, I had a CT scan (which ended up being inconclusive) that cost $7,237!
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can negotiate my bills down?
I'm so depressed about this medical bill, I don't know what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated.
