There are agencies which exist that will go over a bill to see if you were overcharged. You can always try to negotiate the bill amount. Most hospitals will also let you set up a payment plan.

No.

Don’t be thinking of payment plan. A young man starting out who thinks he was properly insured and a guest from another country should not be saddled for possibly a decade with an inflated hospital bill.

Sign nothing. Do not put it on credit card. Get full details from the insurance company before agreeing to anything at all by the hospital.
