Surprisingly Peaceful Considering

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.

  1. Hospitals are generally really good about setting up payment plans to pay for stuff, from what I’ve found.

  2. 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*

  3. 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)

  4. Well… we waited two months before reporting to the phone company, so I’m OK with paying back the two months of phone service.
