<prompt> Human: I have a friend that was recently sent to state prison. Prior to her incarceration she went to a hospital without insurance and now has a bill that she is unable to pay. Is there a way to get this deferred until she is released? Shes not looking to erase the debt. She just has no way to pay at this time.  <response>: Depending on length of the incarceration, she could work out a payment plan with the hospital or it might just be written off as a bad debt and she would have to deal with a collections agency.
