I have heard of numerous situations where the doctor or hospital will set up a very easy payment plan and sometimes they will negociate the bill and accept a smaller payment and forgive part of the bill if you are willing to pay it off. Check with them, they are always more happy to have you work with them rather than have to harass you for a payment. Good Luck!!
