All he has to do is set up a payment plan with the hospital. He can keep the collectors off his back by paying 10.00/month.

I’m no lawyer, but I always advise my family members when they take another family member to the doctor’s office or hospital, to let the hospital know they are not responsible for their family members medical bills.

And do the same thing if they are taking friends.

3 grand, after all that time and going to collection? Sounds like he should have written that $1500 check, when he got the first bill.
Insurance probably paid 3-800,000 on her treatment. This wasn’t covered, apparently.

Family funds probably paid her medical bills while she was alive. Spouses can’t go bankrupt separately, can they?

Call the hospital and set up a payment plan.

$1 a month for the next 250 years.
