Here are some of the laws in Wisconsin that you should know about when it comes to paying medical bills:
- You are not required to pay more than your insurance company pays. If you have health insurance, the hospital or doctor is required to bill your insurance company first. You are only responsible for paying the amount that your insurance company does not cover.
- You can negotiate with the hospital or doctor to lower your bill. If you cannot afford to pay your medical bill, you can try to negotiate with the hospital or doctor to lower the amount that you owe.
- You may be able to get financial assistance from the hospital or doctor. Many hospitals and doctors have financial assistance programs that can help you pay your medical bills.
- You may be able to get help from the state of Wisconsin. The state of Wisconsin has a number of programs that can help you pay your medical bills, including BadgerCare Plus and the Wisconsin Shares program.
If you are struggling to pay your medical bills, there are a number of resources available to help you. You should not hesitate to reach out for help.
