It depends on what you're in the hospital for. You could end up with separate bills. The hospital bill, radiology bills & doctors bills etc. Some things do have set amounts but if your stay is unusual you could pay more. You can call the hospital finance department or a patient navigator or just tell the operator you want an estimate of what your bill might be. If you don't have health insurance & qualify for medicaid they will help you sign up. Most hospitals have programs called charity care to help peoplewith their bill. They will also work with you on a payment plan. Your monthly payment amount can be negotiable. If you make a payment of a lesser amount one month & they accept it, that can be your new monthly payment. Even if it's $5. It becomes a contract bc they accepted the payment. Hospitals can't refuse giving you care. Unless it's a stay that is unnecessary or elective. If you end up not being able to pay, medical bills are usually overlooked on credit reports.
Have no idea. Wouldn’t that depend on the length of stay and procedure etc.
