My hospital bill for my cyst is almost $3000. The car is needing repairs and the bill is probably not going to be pretty. Alltel made a mistake and credited another person’s HUGE payment to our account, so we’ll probably have to pay back the two months of free phone service.
Why am I not freaking out? The hospital is sending us a care application (which would get the bill reduced or eliminated) and will work out a payment plan with us for what doesn’t get eliminated. The mechanic will probably work out a payment plan with us. Alltel will spread the amount we have over a few billing cycles.
It’s all going to be OK.
Hospitals are generally really good about setting up payment plans to pay for stuff, from what I’ve found.
I’m with Nikkiana – when my dad was really really sick about a year ago, and when my mom was hospitalized for her MS, the hospitals made up a payment plan for the extra the insurance wouldn’t cover (and we had crappy insurance then, so that was a lot). *HUGS*
Hey. I’d fight that Alltell thing. Remember monopoly: Bank error in your favor?
It was their mistake, not your’s & you should really only be responsible for your own mistakes.
Unless you saw there error a while ago and didn’t mention it. (which I doubt)
Well… we waited two months before reporting to the phone company, so I’m OK with paying back the two months of phone service.
