Has Anyone Ever Negotiated A Major Hospital Down To Almost NADA..


Just got my final bills today from the hospital for my July surgery and they are in the lower 5 digit figure after the insurance company paid their obligations per contract/policy. The anesthesiologist was over 2K on a separate billing. I am currently unemployed and the most I can pay on this would be $150.00 a month for both bills.

Has anyone here ever negotiated a bill this size almost down to NADA and how did you do it....anyone had experience with asking for financial aid from the hospital.


Thanks.
