Ask for a hardship application, make copies of everything because they'll lose the application 3 times, every month when you get a bill call and say you are waiting to hear on the hardship application. When it is denied, appeal. I've sent my monthly budget everytime with a letter explaining why I can't make the payments they require. Mine took 9 months. I'm still appealing the ambulance bill.


And you'll probably get a seperate bill for the Dr. Once my hospital hardship was approved 100% (yes, our business has dropped so much that I qualify for 100% hardship), the Dr bill seems to have disappeared from my mailbox as well, just trying to take care of the ambulance bill now. Someday, when our business picks back up again I'd love to suprise the Nashville hospital with a suprise check to cover my expenses but for now I appreciate the hardship charity program.
