Negotiate your medical bill. It is possible. Our son was between jobs and unemployed, therefor no medical insurance. His appendix burst. 3 day hospital stay and tests, bill was running over $35,000. My wife was an insurance clerk in a doctors office for many years. She went to the business office and negotiated the bill to match what would be paid by our insurance company.
Typically you will have to deal with the office manager or business manager. Doctors don't normally lower themselves to talking about money. One doctor she worked for told the patient in the examining room that the patient could pay only 1/2 of the normal charge, then went into my wife's office and told her that she had to tell the patient to pay the usual amount and to be sure to collect it. My wife quit the next day.
