<prompt> Human: As the title states;My girlfriend was diagnosed with Leukemia last year and went through Chemotherapy at a number of large medical facilities.A year later, shes in full remission, which is wonderful and the best news possible... BUT...She now owes money to a variety of Medical institutions including three area hospitals, a few doctors offices, medical testing labs, you name it, she has an account there.She is currently unemployed Because of the intensive treatment, and unable to work for at least the next year. What compounds and complicates her situation further is that she is young and unskilled with no current future career path. This meaning that her chances of being able to even make payments at all are pretty slim to none.What are her options?Would filing for Bankruptcy be a fitting option at her age early 20s?IF so, what does that process entail? She does not own any property or anything of great value. Assistant: Try having her call up the hospitals and see if they do anything based off income. I had a hard time paying some medical bills after my own cancer treatments a year ago, and called into the billing department at the hospital. I was pretty up front about my situation and said that I want to pay the bill but I dont have the money. Do you do payment plans, forgiveness, or anything like that?They quite readily let me know that they had income based forgiveness. If I made under 21k it was 100 forgiven after insurance paid out. If I made under 71k it was reduced by 75. I just had to prove it with my taxes and w2 verifying my income, and they asked about my expenses.Wish I had known about it earlier, Id have more of my hard earned dollars today. I am very grateful that it exists for my hospital!Human: OP HereInteresting...Ill have to look into thisI was aware of forgivenessdischarge programs, but i was under the impression that it was not this generous.Thanks!  <response>: Varies wildly by hospital for sure, but definitely worth a quick couple of phone calls to find out!!
