Question
Hi, my son has been laid off for almost 2 years with no medical insurance but is getting unemployment which is ending soon - he went to the emergency room recently and just received a $250 bill - does he have to pay this or is there agencies that will take care of it or help out. We live in Dayton, OH - thank you for your help
Answer
Hi Doris!
Some hospitals have "charity care" or some name similar where patients without insurance coverage can qualify.
First call the hospital and ask if they have such a program. If not, contact your state and perhaps they can help.
Good Luck!
