I negotiated a $12,000 hospital bill to $1,500

After reading some advice here, I spoke to their billing department and asked how one might qualify for financial assistance. They sent me some paperwork in the mail asking about our situation and to provide justification along with any documentation. I provided a verification of my employment dates, my lay off notice from my employer, a copy of the unemployment payments made to me, and wrote a statement explaining my wife's cancer and my inability to join the work force.

Two weeks later they sent a notice stating we've been approved for a reduced payment of 90%, now owing approximately $1,500.

What a huge burden that's been lifted off my shoulders.

I hope this info helps someone else.
