One last tip and we think it's pretty important!
Medical debt is usually interest-free. Once you move the debt onto a credit card or loan, however, you'll almost always start accruing interest charges.

Many hospitals offer assistance programs that can help reduce your bills. You just have to ask!
You should also ask about available payment options – you may be able to negotiate a long term payment plan that works better for your budget.
Learn more: http://moneym.org/medical-bills
Verify which charges were (or were not) covered by your insurance. Were any of your claims denied? Does your policy have an out-of-pocket cap and have you met it yet?

Congrats to the 2021 FLEC Media Award recipients @Fox26Heather, @JCallawayWFTS, and @tedrossman! Thank you for your consumer advocacy and support of nonprofit financial counseling and education! http://moneym.org/FLEC21
Check dates of service, services performed, and the doctors performing them. Ask your provider to walk you through the bill.
If you find anything that’s incorrect, ask that the charge be investigated and, if not valid, removed from your bill.
