Need help understanding my rights with 30k and rising bill.
Hello everyone and thank you in advance!
This is in Colorado!
I was a healthy 30 year old and recently got into some medical debt after getting myocarditis after flu like symptoms.
I spent 4 days in the hospital, 8 hours in the emergency room. I was begging for a room and by the 3rd day i was begging to go home.
I recently bought into a business that cost me upwards of 100k a couple years ago. My base pay is $65,000 but can make up to $117,000 if the business does well.
But since i bought in a few years ago i just started seeing the investment pay off.
Their are a lot of details i can share but long story short i was told i don’t apply for any charity case or help because i make to much. If the bill reached %50 of my income i would get disaster relief but since i told
Them i could make up to $117k i didn’t get it…
I tried to explain my situation but they didn’t care.
I received self care which took like 10k off the bill but now im well in over $30,000 and by the end of all this ill be at over 40k… no assistance and no help for 4 days in the hospital of mostly rest with one MRI.
MRI cost me 4k alone and i found out third parties do MRIs for around $600….
Do i have any options here or should i just pay it over time?
I tried getting insurance and got scammed $800 by a fraud medical repricer.. Im seriously at Witt’s end and want to give up.
Thank you for any guidance. Sincerely.
