Their medical bills will either be charged to AHCCCS (Arizona Medicaid) or they will be 'cash-applied' at the ER desk. That means they will be required to pay cash for services rendered. The billing office gets a local address and sends them a bill. Of course, the address is bogus and the hospital ends up writing it off as bad debt. Well, I don't know for sure about Tucson, but that is the way it works here in Sierra Vista.
And that is one of the major reasons why there's a healthcare crisis in the U.S.
