When I visited the ER a few weeks ago, I informed the Nurse/Doctor that since I was just released from prison, I am 65 yrs old and cannot work, I also have no income, although I have filed for SSI the SSA have not made a decision, yet and it could take as much as 8 months for them to make such a decision. I also said that as I am a Vet., the VA takes care of all my medications, and medical appointments. I do not even pay a copay, as I have nothing to pay with. I am below poverty level. I live in a dilapidated and donated RV, and have to depend upon others for transportation. There is absolutely no way that I can pay the debts I owe to Houston Methodist, or the Houston Radiology Associated the, $91.00 bill that I have been sent. Your assistance would be appreciated. Thank You…
Hi John, if you went to Methodist contact their billing department (if you havent already) at 832.667.5900. According to the Houston Methodist hospital extended payment plan, as long as you have a hospital bill of $75 or more you may be able to get on a payment plan. You can take 18 months to pay the $91 bill down according to the Methodist financial assistance playment plan. Like I said contact Methodist to confirm this. You can also visit the Houston Methodist hospital payment assistance webpage to see the application that you would complete to get help with your outstanding hosptial bills.
Hopefully that helps you my man.
