Most common DM I get is about medical bills:
Never pay the first medical bill you get.
It's the suckers bill. Think usury.
Just throw it out.
40% chance you never hear from them again
40% chance you get 5 more then offered a big discount
20% chance you go to war

I've done this for 10 years.
I've had 4 kids, in a hospital, C sections, multiple day stays and only paid what her OB required upfront
Someone DMd me, their bill went from $3300k to $750 in 6 months from following this

Here's our 4th kids bill, born in Oct 2021
Last bill received was June 2022.
Never heard from them again.
Not on our credit
Likely written off

People will respond "I did this + it went to collections" or "I got a court summons"
Chill
Call them, offer 75% off and then play hard from there.
P.S. this worked for me for 10 years w wife + 4 kids. Play hard at your own risk. My credit is stellar. Don't blame me for yours.

"What about my credit?"
You're worried a small chance about your credit dropping 75 points vs being forced to pay a 1000% markup on Tylenol or $thousands$ to a doctor who did nothing but say hi & tell you to cough

Caveats:
1. Blood draw places will never let up. labcorp/quest diagnostics. They will find you.
2. Can't do this for basic doctors like a pediatrician. It's for specialty and one off bills (like having a kid hospital bill)

"Oh,you're a dead beat cheapskate."
I'm not. I tip well, pay all my vendors on time and usually add extra.
Healthcare is messed up in America. The more you succumb and pay whatever BS they send you, the more you solidify it to never change.

Disclaimer: Don't DM me crying about a bill that went to collections etc
Just negotiate & pay it off and try again

Throwing out the bill is the first step of negotiation.
In capitalism, you agree upfront "I pay $ X for Y services" If you don't like it, you negotiate or find someone else
That's not how healthcare works
It's facilities doing what they want & charging whatever
