Before I was treated It old the hospital that I do not have health insurance... They said they would offer financial aid.. I was in alot of pain and didnt think of asking. What does that mean? Would they do some kind of check to see how much I get paid?? and offer me to pay a certain amount??? Im a full-time college student and I work part-time.. any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!

First, they cannot refuse treatment! Second, they have several different programs in most hospitals, you should receive information on them when they send you a bill. There should be a telephone # for their billing center and if you call that # they will be able to help you with all the different programs that could help you.

The hospital is going to look at it like anything else you would buy, as if you had purchased an appliance or a car. The hospital should be able to work out a payment plan with you and might negotiate down the full fee. They might also know of charitable organizations that might provide assistance. Talk with them and tell them about your situation; you might bluntly state that you make about this much a month and spend about this much a month and have little to nothing left over.
To protect yourself physically and financially, see if your school offers health insurance. It should be about the least expensive you can get. If the school doesn’t offer insurance, you might look into health insurance through your parents. If those options don’t work out, try MostChoice.com. You can compare locally available health plans and speak to local area insurance agents without any obligation.

One ingredient you're able to desire to hold in mind approximately documentaries is that the producer could make a case for any element they desire. that's their action picture. that's their enhancing. that's their bias. they are waiting to interview 1000 persons, throw away the 500 comments that counter the element they intend to make, shop the 500 comments that suport their ingredient, and upload their own narration, and voila - you have a documentary that declares to be non-fiction, only authentic, all experts and so on. etc. even though that's only telling a million/2 the story, if not decrease than a million/2 of the story. With our present day equipment, buyer merchandise value greater thinking that institutions pay for scientific wellbeing coverage. once you purchase a automobile that grew to become into as quickly as made in u . s ., 1200 money of the value you pay is going at present day in the direction of workers' healthcare. that's one reason why that's problematic for American vehicle makers to compete with the japs and germans, because of the fact those international places have regularly occurring healthcare, and as a result Toyota and Mercedez do not pay a single dime in the direction of wellbeing coverage. even though, if the government takes over wellbeing care, they are going to easily fck it up, only like they have fcked up social protection, medicare, medicaid, training, and the full situation else they get their tyrannical palms on. i'm not particular what's worse. the two the taxpayer will pay for it, or the buyer will pay for it. whilst the federal government does not pay for it, some people does not have wellbeing coverage in any appreciate. we've have been given to control costs that's for particular. there is not any reason in hell that a stay in a sanatorium of three days ought to value 12,000 money. Malpractive abuse is a huge ingredient besides.

I'm not really sure what that means in their terms, but if you call the billing department and explain the situation and what was told to you, I'm sure they can clear it up. Hospitals never have a "set" amount for anyone to pay; they are flexible with balances and payments. If you can only affort $10 a month, tell them that. Don't worry yourself silly over this, ok? And find out where the infirmary is at your school. Godloveya.

Generally they would do it on a sliding scale. This means they will look at what you make and determine how much you could pay for the services.
