I tried to make payments to the hospital on a few thousand in bills, fell behind, and eventually got sued. I would not offer this as advice to anybody. If somebody from the hospital had told me _before_ I got served that I could get 85% of my bill written off just by submitting some paystubs, I would have appreciated it. If you're in a similar spot, call and ask about patient financial assistance or similar programs.
