I need to get same day surgery & the hospital I’m having the surgery at I owe money to. Can they turn me away?
I know I owe them a little bit of money but I don’t have a choice, I have to get this surgery done. Will they tell me no? Serious answers only please.
I work in a hospital…and I can tell you first hand that a hospital NEVER can decline a patient of care. If you’re having problems paying your bills to the hospital, don’t fret! There are options. Most hospitals can work with your individual situation and put you on a payment plan. You may also qualify for financial assistance.
Don’t worry… you can have your surgery and I hope that all goes well!

I would kind of worry about having surgery from people I owe money to lol.
If you have been making your payments on time though, they won’t turn you away.

They cannot turn you away nor can they give you less care afterward.
Good Luck
