    Default Hospital Bills

    My question involves insurance law for the state of: Michigan.

    Mom was hospitalized a few weeks ago. She gets approx $940/month for Social Security Disability. Medicare will pay 80% of the bills, but because she is disabled and not yet 65, she cannot get a supplemental policy.

    How does she handle the bills, which are expected to be $20-40K after what Medicare covers. Already started receiving bills.

    (1) Should she pay the one she got for $37?
    (2) Should she wait for all of them to come and file bankruptcy?

    Thanks for all your input and help

    How about talking to the hospital business office about payment plans and the possibility that they'll reduce the debt or provide some of the care under a charity program?
