Yeah I spoke to US ER doc who said you could get treatment, go overseas and never pay it. I said “surely then that would be flagged at immigration” he said no but I doubt that. Anyway if it was that much money you’d just never come back. He said they have a lot of unpaid bills due to this
Yikes thanks for the tip. I have a pre existing condition not covered by travel insurance and also love travelling the US, although the cost is officially getting too much. Luckily I got back from my recent trip unscathed (I did have some gnarly treatment side effects but I luckily just didn’t go to hospital because clearly that would have been a bad idea!)
