No. You don't. In fact, most hospitals offer discounts for lower income people (but you won't get them if you don't ask), they will help you to see if you qualify for medicare/medicaid benefits if you ask and they provide installment plans for anyone who needs it.

Nope!! But, if you are admitted to the hospital from the ER they either just switch it over to your hospital bill or they sometimes waive it.
Hope you have medical insurance... being hospitalized is VERY expensive. Just being in the ER is expensive.

Well; I would think that you should !?! or might be asked about if you have any insurance!?! it may be a standard question for the most-part !?! But if you're un`able to pay right away.. call a few friends & ask for about threedays to scrub all the walls in EVERY room in the place !

if you have proof of ins, they typically bill you later.
if you don't have insurance, they still have to admit you even if it looks like you won't be able to pay.

No they may ask for some small payment but I highly doubt it.
