I had to bring my wife to the ER last night. Her situation required her to stay the night to have a surgical procedure this morning. The procedure went well and she is recovering now. She has a high deductible health plan that is $3,500 and she is required to pay 30% of charges after that. I have no idea what this will cost. This is the first time we have had an emergency situation. What are our options as we don't have the cash now to cover the deductible? Do I have to pay before we can leave? Should I have told the hospital that she doesnt have insurance (hers insurance seems bad) to get a cash price? I'm on mobile so sorry if this is a wall. Thank you
Update --
Thank you everyone for the advice and reassuring words. They were much needed after the craziness of the last few hours. My wife is recovering well and we should be discharged this afternoon. I will definitely contact the hospital's billing department when we receive the bill to see what arrangements can be made.
