Join our hosts Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and guest Dr. Dan Bober as they dive into this critical issue. Here are three key insights from their conversation:
Manage the Stress
Chronic stress from medical debt can harm your health. Dr. Bober suggests reaching out to patient financial services for manageable payment plans, stretching payments over months or years to ease the strain.
Prioritize Care
Don’t sacrifice your health due to financial worries. Seek treatment when needed and explore available assistance programs to alleviate the burden of medical expenses.
Negotiate Solutions
Hospitals often offer flexibility in payment arrangements. Even negotiating for cents on the dollar can significantly reduce medical debt. Remember, healthcare systems are willing to work with you.
