If you or someone you know is having difficulty paying your medical bills here are some suggestions:

• Contact the billing office of your medical provider.
  • Let them know paying your bill in full or in part is a hardship for you
• Ask if your bills are currently active.
  • If you haven’t paid on your bill by the requested due date, ask if your bill is still current in their system
• Ask if the billing office offers any discounts (i.e.: uninsured, low income, unemployed, etc.)
• Ask if they offer any payment plans.
• Ask if they have any charity care programs available.
