Many times a person receives an invoice for healthcare services from their provider and they never question the amount or negotiate a payment plan. Note that there has been recent legislation regarding medical debt, collections and credit scores. https://www.acainternational.org/news/medical-debt-relief-act-reintroduced-in-senate

We are fortunate to have an excellent healthcare system when it comes to the services of many healthcare providers, however, the cost and payment systems can create a great deal of stress for families. If you are nice to the billing personnel and share what you can and can not afford, they will often times work out a plan or discount amounts when possible. It is always worth asking!
