I paid for many years, but thanks to the financial counselor, I learned starvation and homelessness are not necessary to pay off medical debt.
When one surgery causes twelve independent bills, even $5/mo to each one adds up!
I never ducked phone calls and wrote/reminded each one what I was paying each month per the Financial Counselor letter each of them had received. After three or four years of constantly paying $5/mo, which was all I could afford at that time, most wrote the debt off and others just made it disappear by offering to settle for pennies on the dollar.
Patience and perseverance are your watchwords. The Financial Counselor is your friend and advocate.
