How do I pay my bills?



Recommended Posts

I have had my surgery in October and already paid $450 up front and $250 deposit to my surgeon.

I have to pay 2,200$ co-pay for the surgery, and a couple hundred for the anestezia.

The question is - what kind of programms are out there to be able to put all the bills together and have one summ payment every month that you can afford? I do not want to pay too much to be able to do that too. I can pay some accounts in full as they come and pay some portions of the other accounts over time.

I need some ideas and names. I am not sure what the rules of this website is but if you don't think that you can post it here just try and write a private message to me. ( I am not sure how I set it - it may be available only to my friends )

So, I am trying not to get ovewhelmed with all these piling bills after my surgery or have someone come to my job to serve me with a lawsuit that I didn't pay my bill in time ( I hear of stories like that )

Is there a website where you can set up all of you current accounts and pay all of them from that one website - but I cannot pay all the bills at once - I want to be able to pay whenever I get money ( usually it happens every two weeks ) but anyway - I just don't want a program where they automatically take money out of your account to pay your bills, I want to be able to choose when to pay what.

Are there services like that available to public? I would love to have your input. That would definetely make my life easier.

Thank you!

I was told by my PCP for other medical bills that as long as I pay something, they can't sue you. As long as you're making an effort to pay they are happy with that. Hope this helps.

I wish I knew. I am drowning in medical bills. My husband had major surgery a month prior to my banding - and we ended up with copayments to so many doctors my head is spinning. I am also trying to keep up with paying for my new year deductible along with the cost of my fills that I didn't know weren't included. (I knew some fills would be out of pocket, but I misunderstood and thought three fills would be covered in the global period. Wow, I was so wrong.) In short, I need to consolidate thousands of dollars. All medical.

If anyone reading this knows of a company that does loans for medical bills, please let me know. I want to get all caught up, and fast! I hope I dont, but I might need some cosmetic surgery next year and there are loans available for those types of procedures (at a premium) but is there anything out there for just plain old medical bills? My online search is not turning up anything. :(

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
