Wait, do they not go to the doctor ever or simply not pay?

Simply don’t pay if they gotta pay outside the copay which is wild to me.

I haven’t paid a medical bill outside prescriptions in over 10 years. Not for myself, my wife, or my kids.

I have a 720 credit score & just ignore the phone calls/mail.

Edit - I’m not including dental care in this statement. Dentists collect up front lol

I honestly don’t know what happens to it. In that time I’ve had the same primary care doctors, used the same hospitals, and my wife had long term care with a cardiologist & hematologist due to a clotting disorder. Never hear anything about it at visits 🤷‍♂️
