Receiving an astronomically high medical bill after an emergency can be terrifying. Thanks to the "No Surprises Act" enacted in 2022, it is illegal for hospitals to hit you with unexpected out-of-network charges for emergency services.
If you still cannot afford the bill, do not just ignore it (which ruins your credit). Call the hospital's billing department. Explain your financial hardship to apply for "Financial Assistance," or negotiate a steeply discounted rate in exchange for a lump-sum payment.
