<prompt> Human: I have a few medical bills that the places are almost forcing me to pay in full immediately but i do not have enough to pay at one time. I know i can pay over the course of a few months. What can i do to set up a plan with them in order to pay them like so. I do intend to pay it fully but i cannot in one large sum.  <response>: Call them, tell them you cant afford to pay in one large sum, but that you want to pay and that you can pay over the course of a few months. If you get any trouble, re-iterate that you cannot pay the bill at the time it is currently due, but that you can and want to pay it as soon as you are able.Hospital bills sent to individuals go unpaid extremely frequently, so hospitals are generally very willing to work with patients who cant afford to pay in a lump sum.
