It’s from my understanding the er cannot denying seeing you even if you can’t or refuse to pay. So in the event of a very large bill and the hospital does a charity right off how does the hospital make money. In addition, it is my understanding that if you don’t care about your credit unpaid medical bills won’t impact you since it isn’t a government expense (like student loans) so they can’t garnish wages. So how do they make money on these cases? Also my mom is a doctor and has said that right offs are very common since insurance only covers a percentage. Why would a hospital do this since they don’t get paid?

Short story – absolutely everything charged is so overpriced that they still profit enough to have a well paid board of directors and investment in expansion.
