<prompt> Human: So I was rushed to the hospital and taken against my will to the emergency room. I was never asked if I had medical benefits. Hospital charged me for all of these things they did to me and have sent the bill to collections.What can I do to fight this?USAI have medical coverage and I had it during the incident, which I am sure would have greatly reduced the bill in my collections account.  <response>: Call your insurance company, call the hospitals billing department?How long ago was this? Hospitals are generally pretty lenient with billing if you keep an open line of communication with them. The fact that they went to collections kind of sounds like you incurred the expenses, and just sat on them until they sent them to collections.
