If a person has a high-deductible plan, but doesn't have the funds to pay that deductible, OR, has no health insurance at all..can he/she send the medical provider(s) $10.00 per month to avoid collections?
I've been hearing this for years from agents, managers and clients, but none of them have actually done it, or known of anyone who has. Is this a law, or an urban-legend myth?
Medical forums contain posts from lots of people who swear they're paying $10.00 per month (or some other really small amount) for life. But I can't find anything definitive from a legal standpoint for Illinois. Can anyone here point me to an official source on this subject? If so, thanks in advance!
