Emergency surgery + no insurance
hello, would really appreciate any advice for my current situation
for context:
broke my ankle in 2 places a month ago and needed to call 911 (was in the mountains) and was rushed to hospital in which they performed surgery the day after, i ended up staying for abt 4 days total.
now:
i was billed $300,000 for the whole hospital visit and an extra $3000 for third party anesthesia services (although i was still charged for it in the initial hospital charges). I was getting help while at the hospital in applying for emergency insurance coverage but was denied as i “made too much” (i make abt $3500/mo). now i am still trying to work with the hospital for financial assistance and they said they can drop it to $32000 if i pay within 30 days, which i can not do. I haven’t paid anything yet, it’s been abt a month since the initial billing and unsure about my next steps. would seriously appreciate any advice. 🙏
