The Medical Bill Rescue Kit: Lower, Fix or Pause a Hospital Bill (Letters, Scripts, Error Checklist & Bill Tracker)
Got a medical bill you can't pay? Don't pay it yet. Most people don't know how much of a medical bill can be lowered, fixed or forgiven. This kit shows you how, one step at a time.
IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING TODAY: call the billing number and ask for an itemized bill, the hospital's financial assistance application, and a hold on your account. The kit gives you the exact words.
A 13-page printable kit plus editable Word letters:
1. Get the itemized bill: a letter and a phone script.
2. Find the mistakes: a 10-point error checklist (duplicate charges, upcoding, wrong dates, insurance not applied) and a line-by-line review worksheet.
3. Apply for hospital financial assistance: your rights at nonprofit hospitals (including the 240-day window to apply and the pause on collections while you apply), a documents checklist, and a request letter.
4. Uninsured or paying yourself: how to get a Good Faith Estimate, and how to dispute a bill that's $400 or more over it.
5. Negotiate what's left: 4 word-for-word scripts for a discount, an interest-free payment plan, a billing hold, or a supervisor.
6. If it went to collections: a letter asking the collector to prove the debt, and how medical debt shows on credit reports today.
Plus: cut-out phone cards for your wallet, a bill tracker and a call log.
NO PRINTER? All 3 letters come as Word files you can edit in Word or Google Docs and email. The free Bill Help Now app (billhelpnow.com/app) also fills them in on your phone.
