If someone calls 911 and they take the seizing person to the ER, if the person doesn't have insurance, the ER has to let them in legally, but doesn't the ER still try to bill the person? So, if you have no insurance and don't want a big bill, would a wristband with instructions not to take me to the ER be the key?

What you refer to is an entirely legitimate concept called "refusal of treatment". This is a well-established legal concept that is integrated into the training of all healthcare professionals. How this works for you or a seizure patient may vary to some degree from state to state, but in general it is based upon the concept that an adult, coherent person has the right to self-determination and the right to refuse medical treatment. In the case of a child not in the custody of a guardian, or an incapacitated person, the assumption is made that the guardian or the adult patient would want treatment to be administered.

One common wrist band expressing a refusal of treatment for the incapacitated adult is the "no cpr" band, which alerts caregivers to the fact that the patient does not wish to receive CPR in the event of cardiac failure. I haven't heard of an advance directive of this type being used for seisure patients, but the precedent is there, and anyone interested in this should check with their local health authority to make sure that the method of notification is acceptable and valid.
