How to Lower Your Medical Bill
To lower your medical bill, first check if you qualify for charity care. If not, request an itemized bill to fact check the charges. Challenge any overcharges or inaccurate procedures. Consider negotiating the bill by calling the billing office and asking for a settlement amount. You can also try to get on a payment plan. Remember to avoid putting the bill on your credit card to avoid interest charges. Be persistent in your efforts and don't hesitate to seek support from friends or family as advocates.
