I was recently hospitalized and have now received a large bill that my Medicare didn't cover. I'd like to set up a payment plan to take care of the out of pocket charges.
Jim,
You didn't reach HCA, but left your comment at Bills.com, likely having done a search online and then clicking on a link to our article about HCA.
Please do another search with "HCA" and the name of the city or strate in which you live, e.g., "HCA Houston" or "HCA Virginia." If it happens that either of those areas apply to where you received treatment, click on the link I used.
