Those Lovely Medical Bills

I was just wondering if anyone has ever planned a fundraising event to raise money to help pay those medical bills. My dad is a stage 4 colon cancer patient for the past 3 years. I am trying to help my parents pay off the current 15,000 owed, thanks to our lovely insurance system. I tried researching but don't know where to begin. Any advice would be great.

check with the doctors, hospitals, etc. in their billing department. Sometimes they do not apply the proper insurance payment. I always compare what the medical field says is owed with my EOB (explanation of benefits) from the insurance company. Two months ago I caught a $18,000+ mistake made by MD Anderson Cancer Center when applying the proper insurance payments.

Is your dad on Medicare? He's eligible even if he's under 65 as long as he's been receiving social security disability for the last 24 months. Good luck and best wishes to you!0
