For many Americans, the cost of healthcare can be paralyzing. Unknown costs, unexpected charges, and the general complexity and ambiguity surrounding healthcare insurance coverage and billing can place families in bankruptcy or cause them to forego needed treatment out of fear of financial ruin. Knowing what to do if you can't pay medical bills is essential for patients. There are options available, but you want to research them and understand them before you need them.
For Americans with health insurance, usually offered through an employer, there is some financial security for medical costs. However, most people are never quite certain exactly what services are covered or how much the insurance company will pay, so economic uncertainty exists, even for those with insurance. The uncertainty is even greater for millions of Americans who are on Medicare, Medicaid, or uninsured.
