Hi,

My boyfriend just recently had an accident where his hand went through a glass pane. He ended up tearing three tendons. This required one night of hospital stay and surgery. He then has to go to rehab for it. Unfortunately, he was just cut off of his parent's insurance, and so he does not have any. Is there any help for him? or is he just screwed with a huge doctor bill? thanks!

Where did he put his hand trough the class
if it was at work he can get work comp
Alot of the time states will help out if you just ask them and can prove you need the help

Hi,
He will have to make some arrangements, or a payment schedule, with the doctors and the hospital. Some local communities have a "family health center" for those without insurance, on a "pay as you can" basis, or with the treatment rendered for a reduced fee.
This doesn't sound like one of them. In some cases, rehab won't even admit anyone without insurance....he is lucky.

?? could he not afford his own insurance, well good lesson for others to remember, get health insurance if you at all can.

but yes, he will have to make payment arrangements with them, they may turn it over to a collect agency.

And if he can not promise or show the rehab people how he is going to pay them, they may not allow him to keep comming. I had a bad accident 15 years ago, workers comp refused to pay, health insurance refused to pay because they said it was workers comp.

It took me five years to force workers comp to pay. I lost everything I owned and had my credit ruined.

You can negotiate the bills, if the bills are incorrect. It is always a good idea to look and see
try it with this place
