How can I get money to pay my medical bills?

This is what I did.  If you had insurance that paid for part of the bill but not all, ask them to accept that as payment in full since you can not get blood from a turnup.  If you had no insurance to begin with you can find out how much of the bill the insurance co would have paid, and then ask the company if they will accept that amount, of course they may give you a bad time, but if they were willing to take it from one company why not you.  Then when you get the to agree (don't give up they will)  set up a payment scale you can afford, they really want the money so they will work with you.  If whoever you talk to isn't being receptive to you, ask to talk to someone else, or better yet their supervisor.

Get their own insurance.  Go to the hospitals get treated work out a payment program.  Hospitals are required to treat people even if they are indigent so us taxpayers pick up the bill anyway

Try getting a credit card,most of them will let you take out a cash advance.

Ask friends or family for some help ($$$) until payday.  \n\nIf you have items that you can sell...try selling them.  For instance, I took some DVD's I had sitting around that I never watched to a Used  store that bought them (about 25 of them) for almost $100.  You could try pawn shops as well.  \n\nGood luck.

if you go to the hospital to get checked out, there are two options for you: \n1.) Free care policy- this is based on your income.  now if you make too much for this ..........\n\n2.) the Hill Burton Act- the sum of this act is basically this.  you go to the hospital and get a 350 dollar bill.  as long as you are showing some progression towards payment (ex. 20 dollars a month) they can not deny you health care.   \n\nlook up both of these 2 options for the area that you live in.  but dont hesitate to go just because of a money situation.  it could be something serious!  good luck

Communicate with the medical office and ask for a reduction and a payment plan.\n\nGood Luck.

You can go and pay out of pocket.  That should be less than $50.  Many, but not all, insurance policies pay for that. \n\nBut you should be careful asking for meds when you don't need them.  If you simply have a virus, taking anti-biotics not only won't help you, but could make it worse for you next time you get a bacterial infection.  If the bacteria has become immune to the drugs because you took them when you shouldn't have last time, it could kill you.

It depends. Yes, If it is a life threatening situation, go to the financial dept. of your hospital and tell them your need a application in which the government will pay all or part of your bill (it's based on your income). THey have it. It's a federal law.  Good Luck.

Go to the business office at the VA hospital.  They will give you the paperwork to fill out and I believe they either give you the money or cut you a check...used to take my brother to the VA and dealt with the same situation.

so true but also learn to put away 10 percent or more of your paycheck and create an emergency fund so that if you lose your job or break your leg you can support yourself for six months without employment and when you gain employment get insurance and AFLAC so that you dont blow all your savings on hospital bills when you break your leg ;)

check and see if your job has  insurance.If you make that much a week they want you to pay your own bills.Unless you go to a free clinic and don't tell them you have a job.

garage sale, give blood, ask some friends, family or neighbors if you could wash cars, mow, babysit, walk dog, clean for them or even run errends. You could also consider going to a temp agency.........they find you work fast and pay daily at some places. Good Luck

I provided a link for the free credit report from the government. As for your medical bills. Call the doctors and explain to them your situtation. Some doctors are known to reduce their bill and sometime even write them off. If your bills are with a hospital, call them and try to work off a payment plan. The best way to do this is to sit down and write a budget for the month. Make sure you list your home, food, and utilities first. Next, car and gas payments. Then other bills, like daycare. Make sure you have all the money going towards something. Just be honest with them and tell them you want to do the right thing and pay them. They should be able to work something out with you.

Contact your local Social Services department and set up an appointment.  Bring all medical bills you have for the last 6 months, as that is as far back as they pay.\n\nYou could also check with the Salvation Army or Catholic Charities.
