<prompt> Human: The title pretty much says it all. I have a medical bill of a couple of hundreds of dollars which I can afford to pay off immediately with cash. Should I use my credit card to do it? It seems like a stupid question but I just dont know why people tell to not pay medical bills with credit card.  <response>: It seems like a stupid question but I just dont know why people tell to not pay medical bills with credit card.I have not heard that before but would imagine they mean not carry it as debt. Better to work a deal with the medical officehospital to pay them over time that carry it on a credit card.I always pay every thing I can with a credit card, including medical bills. I do this for safety, record keeping and for the points, everything is for the points.
