Admittedly, the reason for me visiting the emergency room was entirely my fault and my parents are completely justified in making me foot the bill. I am employed but only work part time as a minor, and only work 10-16 hours per week. I have about $500 saved up so far to pay, but the bill (which i only just received the invoice for) is due on the 13th and a total of $1,399.
The reason for the emergency room visit will get me in trouble if it becomes a problem with law enforcement. Like I said, my parents are entirely justified in making me pay the bill, but I am currently not in the position to have the extra $900 in the next 8 days.
This total is after the insurance company has paid for what they will cover ($2,321.20 of the total of $3,720.20). My parents have suggested creating a payment plan with the hospital over the course of the next few months to pay it off. While this is a good idea, is there anything further I can to meet the total? I have heard about writing hospitals for a certain amount of liability forgiveness, but am unsure about how well that works. Thanks for the help.
